...."hope that next time the U.S. will elect a president who will end large-scale military operations and return to the practice followed by the Clinton administration of responding to terrorist acts by trying to bring the individuals responsible to justice."

OOPS! The author meant to say "return to the practice followed by the Clinton Administration of ignoring terrorist acts whenever possible, or siccing lawyers on them if you can't ignore them and they accidentally get caught."

The book"Unrestricted Warfare" should be required reading in the DOD and Congress. It is very good and expilictly describes how they will take us down.

the Chinese – in their quest to create a multipolar world – may have written the book on terrorism…literally.

Many of the people educating America’s children today came of age during the protests against the Vietnam War, and by and large believe that all war is wrong.

Mao had it together it formulating tactics for unconventional war. He viewed war – as Chinese writers long before him – as more than a single faceted operation, but as involving all aspects of society. Westerners have used deception and propaganda in a very limited way. Mao saw these as equal to battalions in the field. Walter Cronkite was worth several divisions of well armed and trained soldiers in the field – and he was a heck of a lot cheaper for the Communists to maintain. The effect on our media has lasted far longer and has been far stronger than the affect of any AK-47 or RPG.
I watched the earlier news clips of Coalition forces in close combat with the Iraqi terrorists. American and British troops using their sights and fire and maneuver to restrict collateral damage. Terrorists setting up and firing mortars without aiming stakes or sights. Terrorists launching barrages of RPGs in the general direction of our forces. Terrorists firing their AK-47s on full auto from the hip. TV news voiceover blaming all the resultant damage on us.

Maybe it’s time we read the Little Red Book?

The Bush administration’s invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq in response to 9/11 caught bin Laden by surprise

Thank you President Bush.

Duh! Been saying this for years, so have many other more brilliant military minds than mine, like General Al Grey, former Commandant USMC.

Very Interesting!

This ping list is not author-specific for articles I'd like to share. Some for perfect moral clarity, some for provocative thoughts; or simply interesting articles I'd hate to miss myself. (I don't have to agree with the author 100% to feel the need to share an article.) I will try not to abuse the ping list and not to annoy you too much, but on some days there is more of good stuff that is worthy attention. You can see the list of articles I pinged to lately on my page. I keep separate PING lists for my favorite authors Victor Davis Hanson, Lee Harris, David Warren, Orson Scott Card. You are welcome in or out, just freepmail me (and note which PING list you are talking about).

I been thinking the same about Bin Ladin/China for years. Of course this author said it better. No one knows for sure but it makes sense.

OSAMA BIN LADEN, " I WILL DESTROY CHINA..."

In a 2001, Al-Jazeera radio interview, OSAMA said that " I will destroy China, the World's second power, after I had destroyed the US"

More than 3000 Separatist terrorists from the Xinjiang "East Turkestan " Uighurs Movement, were and are being trained by Al-Qieda an they had bombed schoolbuses in China killing many Chinese school-children

China is fighting a WAR against the JIHAD of the Al-Qieda and their Uighurs allies

I have long been on record on this forum that I believe the nation that was said to be involved in the attack on 9-11 (as provided to the Senate in a classified briefing) was China. Speculation at the time was that it was Saudi Arabia, but I've always believed that a faction in China wants to nuke us.
