Just for chuckles, what if we designated small guerilla units trained in infiltration, tactics and terrorist SOPS, and equip them with our wealth and backed them with our enormous resources.

How about not doing it for "chuckles," but because when your enemy is a fluid force that forms when needed and fades into its surroundings, without fixed bases, territory or intallations, you have to have very flexible, mobile units, trained in various forms of infiltration and guerilla type operations, to deal with them effectively. The mistake we made in Viet Nam was in not sending our own guerilla type operatives into the North to disrupt their communications and infrastructure.

Ever since the Boer General Christian DeWet tied up 250,000 British troops with his force of 2,000 Commandoes, from 1900 to 1902, in what is virtually a treeless plane--the Orange Free State is not an ideal setting for Guerilla warfare--the lesson has been obvious.

It's a matter of personal observation that, in Vietnam, one sniper, costing a couple bucks American and a ball of evil smelling rice, could keep a battalion of troops on alert, with nightly saturation of 155mm's, costing a couple million. I see no reason why we can't do that to them. All that Arab oil money would disappear like piss down a rat hole, nicht wahr?
