Should today's politicians and generals revisit the early 19th
Century thinker on war, Carl von Clausewitz, for inspiration in Afghanistan?
Brigadier Allan Mallinson, former cavalry officer and military historian, and Professor Jeremy Black, of Exeter University, discuss the extent to which the current conflict can be placed into context.http://news.bbc.co.uk/today/hi/today/newsid_8164000/8164509.stm
We are finally "engaging with the enemy", Biden says. Can he tell us what were we doing before? Serving as target practice for the Taliban? If we believe this crap from someone who has shit for brains, then we too have shit for brains.
A civilisation whose people know they are being led by people with shit for brains, and who won't do anything about it, deserves to die.
