In Part One of this series, we discussed civil war in Europe. In this post we'll look at the face of World War III. Now, there’s talk from the military and intelligence sectors that the war we’re fighting against the Islamists is something new.
I disagree.
Islamists are using an age old tactic of guerrilla warfare - its use of the Viet Cong by the North Vietnamese is a recent example. We call it terrorism today. But the objective is the same. Weaken the opposition using surrogates by hitting them where it’s difficult or impossible to respond. Then follow up with conventional forces from the host nations that supported the insurgency with uniformed combatants.
Now it seems that I’ve been proven right – by the jihadists themselves, of all people.

OK. So he probably didn’t refer to my blog for his quote. Like myself, he’s and admirer of Winston Churchill. But Rumfeld is correct. He says: Churchill’s phrase about the gathering storm - there was a storm gathering, but there were people in...
- Winds Of War: Shaping The Battlefield
From The Gathering Storm We’re losing the asymmetric war on terrorism. And in a perverse way, some good will come out of it. You’re probably thinking to yourself that I’m one sandwich short of a full picnic, but bear with me. As I stated in yesterday’s...

In his memoirs in 1995, Genl. Giap, who headed North Vietnamese forces from just after the end of WW2 until his retirement in the 90's, the general wrote that the Tet offensive of 2/68 was so destructive to the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong forces,...
