I haven't forgotten any of that, I'm just applying solid management to it: set goals, design strategy and tactics, measure progress. Via that method the Iraq war was a failure on about week 5. The other 4 years and 47 weeks have just be confirming data points. And I've been saying exactly that. Using the same method with Israel, they failed on day 1. If you really want to understand the management of war read Sun Tzu or listen to Gen Patton: "I don't want to die for my cause. I want my enemy to die for his." If your strategy doesn't support that then you'll lose. America violated that principle the day the failed to secure Iraqi borders and hold territory they fought to win. Israel violated that on day one. You could even go farther and say that, in general, the American military is woefully unprepared for large scale urban combat in an "asymmetric environment." Until we fill in that hole we'll lose every war that isn't about total destruction of the land our enemy occupies. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:213155 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
