My apologies to Ted O'Connor

Ted made a comment in a post below, where I was admittedly venting and he decided to as well, as did 8 other commenters.

Sean, my webmaster, sent me the comment to consider and I--without much thinking and not feeling well last night (always a mistake I find)--fired back at Ted in a subsequent comment.

My reply was uncalled for and inconsiderate.

Ted's obviously feeling a lot of frustration, as am I. When I take the opportunity to vent mine, he's certainly free to join in on my blog.

So my apologies to Ted.

It is difficult to have to endure the time consuming process of COIN. It is equally difficult to endure the lack of 5GW to start limiting our exposure to 4GW.

The problem is that the conversation stays on asking guys like Petraeus whether they think their plan will work.

Tom does not need to apologize. I let the frustration get the better of me. I had a Jesuit throw a book at me once in class because I got "overheated" during a debate. Thanks for reading these comments Tom. The Jesuit never apologized, by the way.

There aren't many blogs where you can read an exchange like this one.
