To win this war with the terrioust don't we have to infiltrate , cunninglycrafty and hit them where it hurts.

Answer 1

Yes. The problem with your plan is that it is logical, efficient, and very likely to be effective. And that's just not acceptable to many people.

Answer 2

Yes and no. With saying that one must look at the leading military theorist, Carl Von Clauswitz. He said that to win a war one must achieve their military policies. This is done in one way by what he called the center of gravity, if you can take the opposing forces' center of gravity you can almost assure that the other side will fall. This doesn't mean necessarily that you have to kill all enemy combatants, it can be anything take France for example, if you can take Paris then rest assure France will surely fall, it's what means the most to them and it has been proven in numerous occasiions. The British new this and thought the same during the Revolution and took DC, well although our capital it had no significant meaning at the time. The center of gravity is what is the most significant to your enemy combatant, in most cases of terroristic or guerrila warfare it is the civilian population that is the center of gravity, with out the Iraquis civilization supporting, hiding out, feeding, arming the terrorists then they would crumble and would be turned over by the civilians. So when i say no that we don't have to do that it's because we don't on levels you arethinking but yes in the same respect that hitting them where it hurts is the civilians supporting the Americans and Iraqui forces not the guerrilas. A really good example of this is Viet Nam, our center of gravity was the american people's support and basically through loss of lives and propegandists through things such as Jane Fonda and others dissent came so bad that we had to bring the troops home although we were winning the fight hence though our war aims were not complete we lost the war....

Answer 3

In Viet Nam, for every 3,000 bullets expended by the American govt. we got one kill (something like this.) The VC spent a few bucks for every kill.

According to the "Art of War", siege warefare, essentially what we are doing in Iraq, is the lowest and last case scenario for warefare.
It's also the most expensive.

At this rate, Bin Laden is right. We will go bankrupt. No I disagree. What you are proposing will take fifty years. We don't have that much time. Virus warefare is here...we will be hit again (or allowed to be hit again) before the next Presidential election.

Much better is to take our Army out of Iraq. Send em home & invade Washington DC. Imprision the corrupt sobs...politicians, initiate Martial law, create jobs & build our own weapons. Build good nationalism, not the bad type that the media & both parties have infused this country with.

With a strong, unified America, we will be indefeatable. Right now, we are not only running like chickens without their heads. But we are running in a million different directions, all disunited & working against ourselves.

The Army (just like in Viet Nam) is not allowed to win...meanwhile gangs, drugs, violence & immigrants are taking over a once free country.

What we are doing now, is supporting Israel while raping America. In a few years, the USA will be invaded. And they are taking our guns away? How do you fight an invasion if you have no guns? Think about it...do you really feel safe today after our govt spent $500 billion or so?

Rioting, however, will take place first. Then the National Guard will be sent in. National ID cards given out...soon you will have to ask permission to travel from state to state. Ala the Gestapo & Nazis from WW2.

Read your history...the first thing Hitler did was create an act similiar to our "Patriot Act." So while we become a third world nation (with no medical insurance in a time of super viruses/flus) China & other United Nations countries will have to send their soldiers here to
"protect" us.

There...a "New World Order." America has been "globalized" and no one gives a hoot. While the real terrorists...our media, tells us what color terrorist alert there is today (poo color) FEMA & Homeland Security is doing what?

Yes, most likely they are tracking us...ala the Nazis. Both the top Democrats & Republicans work together anyway. While we are nickle & diming over there, doing hop & pops & other missions...the media is controlling us all.

You can't kill a billion Muslims...but you can create friends of em...and they will do the hunting for you. Out of love, not for money. Which is what we are doing.

Democracy? In Persian countries? Oh please, get real. We are wasting good American soldiers for oil. All war is economic. Our soldiers are sitting ducks over there.

If you want to win the war on "terrorists," then we will have to act like we know wtf we are doing. We can reprogram "cells" to attack their own...but so far all we do is egg them on.

And our security is Swiss Cheese. Even Sparta fell from fighting too much. I pray this country start to get some balls. The women here are controlled by the media which says
"you are all perfect."

So now that the media controlls the women, you ladies give up your working class sons easily to fight "terrorists." That's a fifth grade word, terrorists and can mean anyone.

But really, how many women have studied history and/or military history? No we are going to lose this cause we have no balls. Maybe Hillary Clinton can do a better job. She's got a set of balls.

Answer 4

Bingo, I take it your not in the government. You brain is working and you may have read something about how terrorism was fought and successfully put down in the past.
I just had a thought. Perhaps the government inflates the enemy and therefore the reaction it makes. The enemy and their plans must be costly and complicated. How can the US be attacked in such a horrendous way by people planning in caves, going to ordinary flight schools, taking over aircraft with box cutters and a will to die? No, It must be big.complicated and world wide to strike such a blow. The government's reaction must match the size of the enemy.

Answer 5

Sounds like a sensible plan but there is one major snag:
The Islamist Fiends led by Osama are Muslim, and their most important units are in all likelihood speakers of Arabic and are Arab. Their cultures and Ideologies are so bizzare and different from the Western ones. Thats a lot of cultural, ideological, linguistic and racial barriers to surmount.

This means that successfully infiltrating the Islamist Terrorist Network means we need Muslims who can blend in without becoming one of them... Guess what...getting Muslims to do this and help us fight Osama and Fiends, for the most part is like attempting to squeeze fruit juice from a rock...

In this case we might as well be fighting extraterrestrial aliens...

Answer 6

That's the job of the intelligence agencies & special ops or even black ops operatives.

Unfortunately, the intelligence agencies are wracked with internal politics, suffer from unwelcome interference or the gathered intelligence are not heeded. The military's top brass are usually suspicious & jealous of black ops/special ops units are are usually unwilling to give support or resources.

Answer 7

Yes, thats not the smartest way and it is too expected. So the enemy is prepared for that. I would say befriend and take the confidence and make them get surrounded by us, all by themselves willingly. You seen "The wickerman"?

Answer 8

look girl these people are driven by religiouse motives, it makes me cry thinking about my dead boys, but in there cold dead hearts, they would want us to fight these evil ignorant people till the end, bush brought terrosim to iraq and hes smart cuase we would be fuke d if we didnt and nobody realizes that do you really love me know

Answer 9

the problem is we dont know what hurts them the most or their whereabouts if we did the war on terror would be won by now

Answer 10

Yes.
