The Sultan:
In the end everyone they were going in for made it out for a mission accomplished.
Mission accomplished??? Who are you, GWB? And anyway, where did you read/hear that?? The mission was NOT accomplished. What part of "mission aborted" do you not understand? In my language (English) "mission aborted" does not mean the same thing as "mission accomplished." Perhaps it does on your planet.
If everyone they were going for made it out, they certainly did not do so in an V-22. Oh yeah, there's one little detail: nobody has "made it out" yet. The USMC has positioned troops over there and are still trying to figure out what to do. But you can bet that whatever action they end up taking won't involve any more V-22s. One of those 2,000 kiddie warriors...sorry, "armed youths" might throw a rock at it and put it out of service.
