Ted, <Another thing has to do with Rummy. He's fooling with a new concept of waging war: minimal manpower, maximum tech and armaments. A number of generals are not comfortable with the concept. It could be because its new fangled and they don't like it, or it could be because they are right. Probably, we will find out in Iraq.> Actually, the concept has started with the Clinton administration. From intelligence to actual warfare, the concentration was on high tech in order to minimize human exposure and potential American casualties. Look at how the Kosovo conflict was waged with air power alone, for example. After 9/11, it seems intelligence is going back to good ole fashioned field agents. Military-wise, however, we still seem to be very focused on high tech arms. It's understandable, given our reluctance to cause American and civilian casualties. But such a "politically-correct war" brings with it other headaches. Tenchusatsu
