Iraq (so far). I had emailed him about this. He said that what most people weren't aware of is that there are probably over a thousand rooms in Baghdad, alone, where bombs are being made every day. And that the insurgents are spread out among the population and just wait for an opportunity to strike. They don't need a tight command structure, because all of their troops are armed and ready and attack upon the opportunity to do so. He said that any street you walk down, in practically any city in Iraq at any time of the day would have numbers of insurgents, going about their daily lives, looking for an opportunity to attack. It sounds chillingly similar to how Vietnam vets talk about their experiences...
