I never said anything to the effect that "the Bush administration or the military suddenly just "discovered" him or his methods". When I spoke of a reversal of doctrine, I was taking the long view of over a century of military practice...a sea change in basic approach.

I started to address "if I weren't so mentally exhausted from all this crap" here, but suspecting that it's tied to your giving up smoking post on Community, I moved that part of it over there. I'm not interested in taking advantage of you by capitalizing on misunderstandings like the above, if they're the result of exhaustion.

More over there...
