Apparently the administration has no one in it who has read Sun Tzu. Because if someone had, there would be no mistaking the principle “if you know yourself, and you know your enemy, you need not fear the outcome of a thousand battles”.
So who’s the enemy? The administration can’t name one. I can (’Islam’), but the administration insists that is not who we are fighting. Can you?
See section III number 6.
If you, dear idiot, think we need to declare war on Islam...then you really DON’T know squat all about war. That is like saying the enemy in the Cold War was communism. There was an element of truth to it, but we didn’t need to attack Russia, China, and everyone else.
We did need to fight to stop communist expansion, which is pretty close to how GWB is approaching the GWOT.
Yes, I’ve read part of Sun Tzu. I gave up because I think he’s full of cr@p. People read him & then interpret him any way they want.
