| #1 Not only did Wretchard beat Newsweek, he did a better (though self-admittedly, a slightly- flawed) job of it: One of the key things the Newsweek article misses but which War Plan Orange [post] emphasizes was the role played by the delay caused by seeking permission from the United Nations to topple Saddam... One of the principle differences in the Newsweek analysis and the War Plan Orange post is in the interpretation of the strengths and weaknesses of each side. Newsweek, for example, seems to regard the growing use of untrained attackers as a sign of strength... ...But I think the main problem with the Newsweek analysis is that first, it doesn't fully recognize the significance of the economy of force operation against the Sunnis...Secondly, Newsweek almost ignores American political warfare. One highly-educated, self-motivated individual doing analysis, versus a media staff doing meetings, content-approvals, editing, reapproval, spin-correction, etc. Mammals and dinosaurs. |
