Yeah this dogma worked really well for the Germans in Eastern Europe during WW2. NOT! Counter Insurgency is not total war. Right now it is primely fought by Muslims, with our backing, against Muslim Terrorists. This ridiculous "total war" doctrine exposed by Social Worker turned Talk Radio Host Mike Savage et al would have us fight ALL of them by ourselves. Absurd nonsense. Not do able political, not doable militarily, unwarranted morally. This is not WW3, it is NOT Total War. Our foes cannot destroy us as the Nazis and Japanese might of been able too. Some of the Arm chair Pattons however, want to turn it into WW3. Thankfully Bush and Company are FAR smarter and FAR better military and political strategists then any of the Freeper Generals.
Yes, that's why we're not fighting all out. It does make sense not to do so if the judgement that our enemies are weak is correct, as I believe it is. That is why I think the author's fears in the original article are overblown.
I agree with everything you posted on this thread, except for the above line. Again, I think it is prudent to assume our enemies are competent. Also, North Korea is not Islamic. Therefore we are at War with more then just Islam. At any rate, the Russian Mongoloids and Chinese Chicoms certainly have enough nuclear ballistic missiles to kill most of us. Both Russia and China appear to be supporting North Korea within the UN. Islam is not our only enemy right now. We are up against an 'Unholy Alliance'.
