People who are speculating that Shock And Awe is just a fancy phrase for nervenkrieg, and that we don’t really plan to drop all that fancy weaponry at all, are — in my opinion, and I could be wrong — whistling in the dark.
The main reason? It will only work once.
I read Sun Tzu, too. I just don’t buy that we won’t try out all our shiny new weapons. Especially given a target like ol’ Fat Fuck.
