Deja Vue Nam. Oh. Lesson from history is BEFORE Urbane Guerrilla rewrote the Pentagon Papers. Amazing how a military so advanced as to 'bomb them into the stone age' only 'bled to death' in a jungle. Then 30+ years later make the same mistake in a desert when another crook was president.
If UG had ever learned Military Science 101, then he knows why Nam was lost, why a strategic objective is essential, and even why war is the only solution according to wacko extremists on both sides. If UG had learned anything, then he understood why Jimmy Carter's (Nobel Prize honored) deal from the mid 1990s, destroyed by wacko extremist Americans, had to be reestablished by Condi Rice only after heavy handed pressure from China. American wacko extremists could never understand constraints upon Kim Jong Il as he carefully attempts to bring his country (and wacko extremists) back into the world and without being deposed (murdered).
Of course, all this was discussed by those with simple grasp on 28 February 2007 in
North Korea fires missles including a detailed analysis in
Radio Times on Wednesday, 5 Jul 2006 with Mike Chinoy. Since then, Condi Rice has proven that two year old analysis was correct. Our wacko extremists did not get into a shooting war as they also so desperately wanted over a silly spy plane incident in China. Wackos always see solutions only in military operations. The purpose of war is too complex for them. UG would know this if he bothered to understand Sun Tzu's writings.
How could UG have seen reality? Required is a simple grasp of Military Science 101. But a serviceman need not learn basic military concepts if they intend to remain an enlisted man and desk jockey for 20 years. No wonder UG routinely rewrites history. Otherwise he would have to admit the fallacy in his politics.
Those with basic knowledge could easily see why Kim Jong Il was saber rattling. How he was doing it was so obvious. He was trying to reestablish the Jimmy Carter solution - to bring his nation back into the world without getting murdered in a coup d'etat. In a wacko extremists world of 'black and white', 'good and evil', and perspectives, then Kim's real objectives would be too complex for wacko extremists to comprehend.
