If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.And here our leaders are all insisting on ignorance to Islam’s evident war plan by promoting the “religion of peace” lie.
— The Art Of War, III:18
It’s been a while since I read the The Art of War. But what I best recall is the tactic of never fully constraining one’s enemy; so to avoid his greatest effort for survival.
Our “leaders” are idiots.
