This journalist asks the same question seven times and never gets a clear answer:
Q Scott, is the insurgency in Iraq in its ‘last throes’?
…
Q But the insurgency is in its last throes?
…
Q But they’re killing more Americans, they’re killing more Iraqis. That’s the last throes?
…
Q Right. What is the evidence that the insurgency is in its last throes?
…
Q What’s the evidence on the ground that it’s being extinguished?
…
Q Well, I’m just wondering what the metric is for measuring the defeat of the insurgency.
…
Q Yes. Is there any idea how long a ‘last throe’ lasts for?
