Demandred and Moridin almost exclude themselves because of the low IQ of this military blunder.
Moridin, if you recall, got himself beaten by LTT/Rand multiple times. Demandred doesn't seem to have done noticeably better - we don't have tales of any grand defeats handed by him to LTT and I assume it's because he would have lost a direct engagement. It's a little hard for me to consider any of the Forsaken brilliant at this point. Oh well.
To paraphrase that Shania Twain song - "So you wrote some books? That don't impress me much."
And it isn't exactly peaches and cream in the Westlands right now. What more do you want from the man?
When the Wolf King carries the hammer, thus are the final days known. When the fox marries the raven, and the trumpets of battle are blown.
Are women really bad generals?
