How is this War Different

When you are fighting a Country, the war becomes clear as to how to prosecute the strategy.

But when the war is against an ideology, such as Wahabism, and that ideology is in many countries, then how can you defeat them?

To defeat any opponent you usually must have both an offensive policy and a defensive policy. I know that defense wins championships, but the offense must get the ball and score some points.

In Vietnam, it was mostly a defensive war; occasionally we would venture out on “sweeps” to engage the enemy. That was the offense policy. It was the goal of the Democrats, Kennedy and Johnson, as well as the Republicans, Nixon, to train the South Vietnam Army to be able to stand upon their own two feet and defend their own country.

But alas we pulled our monetary support and they began to loose because of supply and maintenance failures. Then we pulled out. And if we would have maintained our support monetarily and militarily for about one more year, we would have been able to see them do the job.

So, what is our offensive policy today against another non-uniformed enemy? Draw the enemy to the sandbox by showing them we will take away one of their prized possessions, 25 million possible converts to Wahabism, called Iraq citizens.

This means that they will spend their efforts in an area where they hope to have the highest percentage chance of reaching their goals of:

1. Convert as many Arabs to Wahabism as quickly as possible.
2. Kill as many Saturday people, (Jews), as possible.
3. Kill as many Sunday people, (Christians), as possible.
4. Kill as many Secular people, (the rest of the non-Wahabi people), as possible.


To most thinking people it is a good strategy, because their ideology is set in stone. It is not negotiable. They will be here blowing up people and places here if they were not in Iraq doing the same thing because it is their goal, their idology, not because they hate America! They hate all non Wahabis, and that will never change.
