Well, a perusal of an online pdf version of
Vom Kriege, ( as opposed to the photocopy version I dug up previously,) shows that
Friktion is a basic concept in the work, whereas
Nebel (fog) is used metaphorically to express the contribution of uncertainty to the general operation of the former principle.
I actually see two places where Nebel is used figuratively in this way. In addition to the Wikipedia citation I mentioned, there is this passage:
Der Krieg ist das Gebiet der Ungewißheit; drei Vierteile derjenigen Dinge, worauf das Handeln im Kriege gebaut wird, liegen im Nebel einer mehr oder weniger großen Ungewißheit.
"War is the realm of uncertainty, three quarters of the things upon which the practice of war depends, lie in a fog of more or less total uncertainty."
This is probably a better source for the popular idea of "the fog of war" than the other quote.
BTW, Clausewitz does cite weather as a contribution to friction, and gives the example of an artillery signal not being heard due to fog, but fog is used metaphorically as well, and in a way consistent with the popular conception of "the fog of war".

LAKEWOOD, Wash. The police cornered a man suspected of gunning down four uniformed officers in a Seattle home early Monday and said he might have died from a gunshot wound, according to news reports.
Ed Troyer, a spokesman for the Pierce County Sheriffs Department, told The Associated Press that the suspect, Maurice Clemmons, had been shot and may be deceased from his gunshot wound.

FOX News reported this animal was out on bail on rape of a child charges. And he received clemency from a 60 year sentence for none other than Mike Huckabee.

I will say it.
The officer in Las Vegas that was murdered was killed by 6 BLACK gang members.
The man they are looking for in WA is BLACK.
The officer killed on Halloween in Seattle was BLACK.
Is there a pattern here?
Hello Obama, did these black men act stupidly?
Am I being politically correct, I do not care.
