Thread Name: The Key to All US war strategy
Subject: The Key to All US war strategy
I have joted down a brief (head ,heart ,hands) war strategy elsewhere which may be employed a bit but the ultimatum to the world is sometimes hard to understand. The war is to be "limited only by our 'global' reach". What does that mean? What is the key to understand our War strategies and policies?

The best way to make sense of what at times seems too big to handle is to see it in the simplest possible light.

The Key is this; Nearly every cowboy western you have ever seen has all the elements of our war strategies.

Here is one for small countries (more to follow)

"OK Black Bart yer gonna eat lead" 'but i dont hava gun' The marshall throws one down on the ground in front of Bart. "Go ahead , reach fer it" 'I dont wanna' "Go ahead ya coward , I'll give ya a count to 3. One Two ThrBANG " Black Bart bites the dust.

Larger foes:

Were gonna get a posse...



When we cannot even definitely name the outlaw...?????

The storyline for this kind of scenario would be "The Sons Of Katie Elder". In this western we are not sure till half way through who the terrorist is even though the town kinda knows and is harboring the villain and his henchmen. John Wayne is the USA in this movie and gets his man while still trying to obey the laws of the land. Trying to obey the law costs him one brother and the wounding of his other two.

I am making no political statement here {well mebbe just a bit}, but mostly a change of pace from the horrific overload of TV. Humor is impossible during extraordinary times like these but is essential all the same. The broadway shows of NYC go on. The audiences still laugh. They need to laugh. Artists rise to the occaision as everyone else during times of war.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "He's up thar in those rocks somewhere. You go around and come up the back while we cover you". 'But thats Indian territory back there' "Wouldja rather we walk straight up that mountain in plain sight?"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Maybe we kin just burnem out?" 'The winds goin the wrong way. It'll just come back on us. Now git on up thar and flush him out from behind. We'll head em off at the pass.' "oooOK"

"Ah dont care if they are friendly, Chief flamin foot's war party is down there somewhere, besides the only good injuns a dead injun."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Sheriff , there holed up in Injun country and the heathens said they won't handem over." 'We'll just ride in with our posse and takem' "Some of the boyz down thata way are too skittish to join up" "A mans gotta do what a mans gotta do, Were goin in" "We want Ben Laden Dead or Alive. Were gonna huntim down ,smokim out, and bringim to justice." George W. Bush Ye Haw Were gonna git every last one ofem. "Thats stretchin it Slim."
