You and Phil, and to a lesser extent George, who should know better,
don't seem to realize that killing the enemy C&C is how the US fights
wars today.


The entire idea behind assymetric warfare is to refuse to play by the
enemy's
rules - so if fighting the US use a doctrine not reqirering an C3I
infrastructure,
which can be attacked - have lots of small dispersed units capable of
operating on their own initiative.
If you can devise a doctrine without a conventional decision cycle noone
can get inside it.

A "not so smart" bomb made out of an inflatable boat, 2 suicidal maniacs
and a lot of explosives almost taking out the Cole - thats assymetric
warfare.

Forget about taking and holding terrain - just inflict casualties.

If you can't beat the enemy's physical strenght attack his will to fight.
