Head Case

Great news! General Stanley McChrystal thinks geniune progress is being made in Afghanistan. Sort of. Of course, he also thinks "war" is something that's in your, um, head.

"This is all a war of perceptions," he said. "This is not a physical war in terms of how many people you kill, how much ground you capture, how many bridges you blow up. This is all in the minds of the participants."

M'kay. Then why do real live infidel soldiers keep getting blown to bits by real-live road side bombs set by real live jihadis?
