Doolittle and the Centers of Gravity

"The success of military operations isn’t always measured in ground taken, or enemy killed and captured. Sometimes it isn’t even obvious how successful an operation was until after the war has been fought, and captured enemy documents are evaluated.
Such was the case of the Doolittle Raid. Planned and undertaken just four month’s after the attack on Pearl Harbor, the raid was hardly significant in terms of battle damage. And the cost to US forces was high. Of the 16 B-25 bombers assigned to the raid, the loss of mission capable aircraft was 100%. Of the highly trained crews, only a few ever fought again in WW II, and three of the eight crewmen captured by the Japanese were beheaded. Despite this, the success of the operation was tremendous."

True enough, I guess we should not expect to see through the fog of war just because we live in the internet age.
There is always the chance that things we do not, and can not see, are driving forces that march in our favor.

I just do not accept that the Democrats are the appeasers of today. I hear many of the top Dems speak, and I have yet to hear one of them say that they will seed the world to the Islamist. What I do hear are options.

Why is Iraq the central front? the Enemy is today fighting on several fronts. Don't the rest of your see more than one front. It's not just Iraq. What about Lebanon, did you miss that, How about Pakistan, did you notice, not to mention Afghanistan is anything but won.

I think Afghanistan is one of the major flank maneuvers that the enemy is conducting and we are ignoring, with talk of how fast we swept the enemy aside? When did that happen? The enemy is engaged us on many fronts and we need a multifaceted response. This single minded Iraq, Iraq, Iraq, mindset is sure to fail. Lets hope for all our sakes that those that know, don't really believe their own propaganda.
