That's the "reality-based community" for you, always living in their ivory towers and never wanting to become a human shield to back up their rhetoric of love for their fellow man, even though there is no age limit or physical to pass to be a human shield.<BR/><BR/>In my experience, liberals are people who wax eloquently about their love for humanity while hating people who don't agree with them.<BR/><BR/>BTW, other than Elroy and a few "reality-based" moonbats, where have shattered and destroyed Iraq? Isn't it the Islamofascists who are doing their best to do that? Oh, that's right, like Flip Wilson's "the devil made me do it", [Great Satan] America makes Muslim whackos become even more destructive of their own brethren, right?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12075358.post-6335211194520416802007-08-26T19:34:00.000-04:002007-08-26T19:34:00.000-04:00Beerme – um, no, Sun Tzu was talking about war. Bu...Beerme – um, no, Sun Tzu was talking about war. But if he was describing illegal immigration, do you think he was offering advice to the Americans or the Mexicans?<BR/><BR/>Hawkeye, you are getting confused. Your four fallacies of the Iraq war do not mention Al-qaeda as a reason for going; would you, as GWB likes to do, add it to the list after the fact?<BR/><BR/>The Iraq war was never about chasing Al-qaeda or being chased by them – it might be now, but that it because Rummy ignored another of Sun Tzu's famous edicts: <BR/><BR/>'If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.'<BR/><BR/>I posit that Rummy did not know the enemy. Who was/is the Army fighting? Sunni insurgents? Shiite insurgents? Al-qaeda? The State Department? All four at once?

So, too, it is better to recapture an army entire than to destroy it, to capture a regiment, a detachment or a company entire than to destroy them.<BR/><BR/> Hence to fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting.<BR/><BR/>Therefore the skillful leader subdues the enemy's troops without any fighting; he captures their cities without laying siege to them; he overthrows their kingdom without lengthy operations in the field.<BR/><BR/>With his forces intact he will dispute the mastery of the Empire, and thus, without losing a man, his triumph will be complete. This is the method of attacking by stratagem. <BR/><BR/>– Sun Tzu, The Art Of War.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12075358.post-36632155557389126922007-08-25T22:42:00.000-04:002007-08-25T22:42:00.000-04:00Victory Hammer commercials make me drool....I thin...Victory Hammer commercials make me drool....<BR/>I think you missed that a war is lost if there is a democrat looking for face time on TV or wants to be elected to a higher office.mindknumbed kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00981226946742084929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12075358.post-80893400417716423262007-08-25T17:27:00.000-04:002007-08-25T17:27:00.000-04:00Definition of "Victory"?It's a motorcycle, of cour...Definition of "Victory"?<BR/><BR/>It's a <A HREF="http://www.polarisindustries.com/en-us/Victory/" REL="nofollow">motorcycle</A>, of course...camojackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07636605293846764764noreply@blogger.com
