Well there you have the difficulty of defining the word "major"

- do we have divisions of Armour attacking the Iraqi army

no

- are we in a fight with an enemy that hides in civilian clothes and hiding in houses occupied by "innocent" Iraqis

yes

- do they arm Toyotas with stolen artillery shells and force zealots to blow themselves up along with whomever else is in the vicinity

yes

and is that the definition of "major combat operations" to a lib/dem/leftie

yes
