Gary >He could win a war and lose a battle, especially if he goes in without the UN. Don't you perhaps mean he could win a battle and lose a war? I don't know if you have read Sun-Tzu's classic, "The Art of War", where he says that war is about deception. >>>18. All warfare is based on deception. 19. Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near 24. Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected. 25. These military devices, leading to victory, must not be divulged beforehand.<<< classics.mit.edu Perhaps all the US bluster is a cover-up for its own weakness.
