Obama bored with economy, plays basketball with his cabinet

A conventional war can include unconventional tactics. However the Abomb was dropped onto a military target.

The use of the atomic bomb was a terrorist act if there ever was one. The main goal with its use was of a political and not military nature.

Before you say it - yes here were military targets within the city of Hiroshima. The main goal of that weapon was not to destroy those targets.

Fallujah insurgents were GUERRILLA fighters, fighting an unconventional war.

Period. No getting around it.

""As evident by the recent and widespread retaliation following the defeat of guerrilla forces in Fallujah, as so long as the insurgents can maintain access to the population they can meter their casualties to keep at tolerable levels""

General Wallace : Guerrilla Warfare in Iraq

http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp...nguage=printer

"Controlled by insurgents from late April until this month, when American and Iraqi forces mounted a massive offensive aimed at restoring government authority, Fallujah had become a hub for foreign guerrillas who joined Zarqawi's network, U.S. military officials have said."


UNCONVENTIONAL WARFARE.

[ChumpDumper]

they had a choice whether to deal with Fallujah using conventional or unconventional methods.

They chose conventional methods.

No getting around it.

CONVENTIONAL WARFARE.

If one side is fighting using unconventional warfare, then now it is an unconventional war

Takes two to make it conventional. definition clearly shows it.

Did you ever come around to saying if you thought WWI was an unconventional war?

How about WWII?

You didn't and I bet you still won't.

You're afraid to answer.

It's fun watching you so everything you can to not answer.

Only those who have a weak argument resort to using analogies to try and prove a point.

You have a weak argument.

You have a weak argument.

An anology proves the strength of an argument dummy... not weaken it..

An argument can be explained and proven without the use of analogy. It should be able to stand on it's own feet.

To use an analogy is to dumb down the argument and accept that you cannot explain and prove your own argument by itself.


1) This tastes sweet, with a hint of sour after a few seconds. It has a solid consistency and is cold to the touch.

or

2) This tastes...um...like ice cream!


They are not the same food. Using an analogy is to dumb down the argument so you shy away from actually explaining anything. Ice cream may taste like it, but it's not the same now is it?

Kinda like the colonists during the American Revolution.

The British used conventional tactics, while the colonists used many guerilla type tatics.

You are referring to Asymmetrical Warfare, where one one side of usually lesser strength uses unconventional tatics to win a conflict, this has happened constantly throughout world history.

Bush never did any athletic activities and still managed to everything up.

Yeah he did, Bush was a runner and a really good one. Jogger might be the better term.

I do not know why we care that the president takes time to play sports and stay in shape. Everyone who has ever worked a day in their life knows that closing a day with exercise is a great way to get rid of some of the stress. I would much rather he plays sports then turn to drugs or alcohol like most people in my profession.
