Plan Of Attack - A secret new strategy for taking on terrorists--and taking them down

Topics: War on Terror

It looks like the Pentagon and the Bush administration have been listening to Hyscience and some of it's fellow conservative bloggers. The Pentagon has finally awakened to the fact that the "War On Terror" is NOT a war that's against just al-Qaeda and Bin Laden, but instead, the terrorist threat against the United States is "Islamist extremism" (we conservative bloggers usually refer to a more over-all embracing term - Islamofascism, which calls attention to it's political agenda as well as it's whacko religious views)

(...) The terrorist threat against the United States is now defined as "Islamist extremism" --not just al Qaeda. The Pentagon document identifies the "primary enemy" as "extremist Sunni and Shia movements that exploit Islam for political ends" and that form part of a "global web of enemy networks." Recognizing that al Qaeda's influence has spread, the United States is now targeting some two dozen groups--a significant change from the early focus on just al Qaeda and its leadership.

(...) .. some officials were leery of painting the adversary with too broad a brush for fear of alienating the mainstream Muslims the new strategy defines as pivotal allies. "It's important that we point out that it's not a religious or cultural clash," Caslen says. "It is a war to preserve ordinary people's ability to live as they choose."

(...) The final product reflects changes of profound significance, Pentagon officials say. First, the enemy is now defined more broadly than just al Qaeda. Second, the Pentagon has now officially moved away from what has been widely seen as a unilateral American approach. "It's not a military project alone," Feith explained, "and the United States cannot do it by itself alone."

The new Pentagon plan outlines a multipronged strategy that targets eight pressure points and outlines six methods for attacking terrorist networks. Apparently defining the enemy in precise terms was one of the first big hurdles in producing the new strategic plan, which appears to be more the result of an evolved process rather than a completely new direction.

I think you'll enjoy reading about our new take on our real enemy, the Islamofascists (regardless how kindly the pentagon wants to describe them) and the "global "synchronizer" way of tweaking our resources to fight them and take them down down down.

Afterthought - don't tell anyone about this, it's a s-e-c-r-e-t plan.
