| US in a 4th generation war |
| 2006-05-27 |
| It is a "fourth-generation war" that the United States finds itself engaged in since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center in New York, a war without borders or a battlefront. "Transnational" is the word Vice Adm. David C. Nichols Jr. uses to describe President Bush's war on terror. Nichols is deputy commander of U.S. Central Command in Tampa, Fla., which controls military strategy for Operation Enduring Freedom in Iraq and the wider war against terrorism and those who seek to advance it. Nichols is second in command to Army Gen. John Abizaid, who oversees the entire operation of CENTCOM, as it is known. Nichols, a Knoxville native and graduate of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, was visiting McGhee Tyson Air National Guard Base Friday under security precautions that rival those of a presidential visit. At a morning briefing, Nichols talked about the new face of war, calling it a "clash of ideology" as opposed to a "conflict between nations." |

| #4 "Self-generating action groups" - what in the 1980's I also labeled as independent, multi-tasked, high-mobility battle groups/task forces. National syndicated talkradio host DOUG STEPHEN, in his responses to discusssions wid call-in radio listeners, agreed wid once caller about how Amer politicians for the most part are wilfully ignoring and snubbing their noses at the Amer people, and doing so while proceeding in favor of a LT agenda whereupon both Mexico and Canada will become part of the USA, what Stephen labeled the future "UNITED STATES OF NORTH AMERICA", IFF NOT THE ENTIRE AMERICAS. Stephen's show implied that Amer cultural-economic superiority is slowly but surely taking over the landscape of Mexico, Canada, and the lower Americas. Stephen told one call-in that, directly or indirectly, in his opinion Mexico may become part of the USA within 40 years, and Canada in approxi 100 years. AS SAID TIMES BEFORE, THE STATUS QUO FOR AMERICA'S ENEMIES, TO INCLUDE "MANAGED COMPETITION" BETWEEN AMER AAND ITS COLD WAR COMMUNIST OR OTHER COMPETITORS, NO LONGER SUFFICES REGARDLESS OF WHAT THE DIPLOMATS OR MSM SAY TO THE CONTRARY. THE GWOT IS A WAR FOR CONTROL OF THE WORLD AND FUTURE OWG, AND WHAT -ISMS WILL DOMINATE SAID WORLD AND OWG. America and the West/Western DemoCapitalism either win and rule, or be destroyed. RUNNING AWAY TO TAHITI, THE NORTH POLE, SHANGRI-LA, ETAL. ISN'T GOING TO SAVE AMERICA OR ITS ENEMIES OR ANYONE FROM THE INEVITABLE - STAND AND FIGHT, OR THE USA-WEST DIES! |

| #3 The reason for the skulls was because there was no one left alive within the walls of the city, not because heads were separated. They were usually collected up years later from the rotted remains that were the sole inhabitants of the empty abodes. |

| #2 ed, You mean with things like pyramids of skulls piled at the city gate and such? If so, we might be on the side of the skulls, since our enemy specializes in head-chopping. |
