In the spring of 1776, William Howe sent a letter to London. "The scene here at present wears a lowering aspect, there not being the least prospect of conciliating this continent unless its armies are roughly dealt with; and I confess my apprehensions that such an event will not readily be brought about, the rebels get on apace, and knowing their advantages, in having the whole country, as it were, at their disposal, they will not readily be brought into a situation where the King's troops can meet them upon equal terms. Their armies retiring a few miles back fro the navigable rivers, our cannot follow them from the difficulties I expect to meet wit in procuring land carriage."
If he were in the Iraqi theatre today would he write a similar letter to Washington?
