[Liberating Iraq] Media Coverage Distorts Iraq Reality: Once the network realized that major combat operations wouldn't start for several more weeks, CNN alleged that the Marines had used them as a tool for their deception operation.

[Words Have Power] Things Going Well In Iraq, Too?: Almost all of its recommendations for defining how the army thinks about the likely staple of current and future warfare--the need for more and better training and education of American troops, more civil affairs and engineering units, better relationships between the army and non-military government agencies, as well as simply an actual acknowledgment of the importance of counterinsurgency doctrine--are far removed from the type of "transformation" pursued by the Rumsfeld Pentagon. Moreover, another of the report's central contentions--that the U.S. military should not exacerbate or legitimize liberation insurgencies by deploying increasing numbers of troops to those conflict zones--stands at odds with a current bipartisan orthodoxy that simply sees increasing enlistments and deployments (without any commensurate doctrinal reform) and new weapons systems as the cure-all.

[Blogs.washingtonpost.com] Early Warning by William M. Arkin - washingtonpost.com: The US, conversely, sent its’ sons and daughters into battle with little or no training in 4th generation/asymmetrical warfare techniques (not to mention inadequate equipments.) Was the Pentagon aware of the types of training that Al-Qa’ida’s troops had received in advance of the conflict in Afghanistan? Yes (or should I say, with the same respect demonstrated to the American people, ”˜you betcha’?) Did it send US troops into Afghanistan and Iraq despite this knowledge?
[Scfamilylaw.com] South Carolina Family Law Blog: Sun Tzu and the Art of Divorce: Too many times, the parties (and sometimes even their attorneys) will get so caught up in trying to "win" the case that they lose sight of what is really important, the original purpose for going to Court (Sun Tzu's "great object of victory").
