Quagmire watch at the BBC

A question from yesterday’s Centcom press conference:

Q General, Mitchell Switch (sp) from the BBC. Nobody thought this was going to be simple, but, given the degree of resistance, which I think you concede has been unexpected -- the level of casualties, now the prisoners of war -- is it not the case that this is proving to be significantly more difficult than you might have hoped?
GEN. ABIZAID: No.

That was his whole answer which, I think, shows his contempt for the question.
