THE DC AREA SNIPER COULD BE AN EXAMPLE OF UNRESTRICTED WARFARE

Guerrillas attack on plain of jars

For some reason I remember that clearly too.

Call it guerilla, gorilla, chimpanzee or orangutan warfare. The writer is correct in spotting the trend to unrestricted warfare. Tim McVeigh showed how a small group of people with limited resources can leverage a little knowledge of explosives for maximum damage. Al Qaeda came along and leveraged our own technology against us. This sniper certainly isn't waging a high-tech or expensive campaign. Mean while we've got thousands of cops working overtime and who knows what classified, pricey military gear at work. Laws of economics and efficiency are at work. Our Cold War military bureaucracy is ill-equipped for any of it. The US Army was unintentionally and ironically accurate in its revised recruitment marketing. Eventually each of us will have to be an "Army of One".

Hey I resemble that remark!

Very interesting theory put forth here, and I am afraid a little too plausible. This kind of warfare is most certainly the kind practiced in third world countries, and I am afraid it may have come to our shores, and this is only the beginning.

BTTT!

THe reaction to this post by so many assumed to be Conservative realists, indicates that the enemies battle plan to have us laugh our selves to death as we are destroyed, is working better than they ever expected in their wildest dreams.

Have any of you commedians ever stopped to think about how life across America would be paralized by a few elusive sharp shooters in and around every major city in America? Don't look now but your stupidity is showing. I speak to the idiots who have responded to this post, Joe, not to you-I thank you for posting it.

The commies want to defile our precious bodily fluids!

Look, you keep coming up with the idea that these attacks on me are "tests". First it was the Pentagon, down the street from my office, then the anthrax (and there was only one attack - not a series), and now there's the sniper wondering around!

All seems pretty real from here! I fail tosee the testing part.

Unrestricted Warfare is new kind of Gorilla Warfare

I stopped reading at this point. The inability to spell the central term correctly shows grotesque ignorance of the subject.

Freedom of speech doesn't mean every idiot's opinion is valid.

Other than the type-o's, the concepts and observations are rock solid...too bad some folks aren't listening.

The author mercifully left out the part about how not too much assymetrical warfare is needed to bring down a society as free as ours with as much populace concentrated in the big metro areas ... chaos brings hunger brings anarchy brings mayhem brings a democratic society to its knees, unable to project its vast miliatry might beyond its own riot-riddled shores.

The antidote, by thew way, is a well armed, organized, patrolling citizenry, involved in the peacekeeping of neighborhoods.

To hell with the author - what about the editor, and all of the other people who had to read/type it before it was uploaded?!

My thoughts exactly. It took me ten minutes to get my giggles under control, so I could read the rest of the article. :)

[Cabbages and Kings]

They sure as hell have found our 'Achilles Heel'! Americans have become too soft and half, judging by the electorate, are dumber than a box of rocks!

[freebilly]

To wage unrestricted war against the US a group like AQ could attack the two largest buildings in the country; issue a massive DOS attack; send Anthrax through the mail; and have a sniper create havoc in a metropolitan area.

What is past is prologue. I've a feeling that the sniper, this week's DOS attack, and last year's anthrax scare were mere probes designed to test how vulnerable we are to this type of warfare.

The Chinese are taking notes....
