ISLAMIC WAR STRATEGIES AND TACTICS - I]


How was Islam beaten back from its past incursions into the West? What were the strategies? The tactics used to halt its advances?

First advice, based on past successes for us of the West: stay "liquid." By that is meant, do not take a postion and solidify that position, no matter what, so that it becomes written in stone, rock-hard, or in the instance of George W. Bush, an albatross hanging from your neck. (Albatross, from "The Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner" by--who is it?--Coleridge?--where the mariner kills an albatross, it brings bad luck to all aboard, he has to wear it hung around his neck.)

George W. Bush, President of the United States has an albatross with the name of "Iraq, democracy" hanging around his neck. He also has a rotten seagull on a string labelled "Palestinian state" dangling right alongside of the Iraqi albatross. Both have been hanging these so long, they stink--rotten. They've dried out and become rock-hard. Ergo, Bush's postion is his albatross--it brings the ire of this countrymen down on him. The frickin' seagull ain't doing him any good either.

Staying "liquid," means being able to change positions as circumstances require. I know, I am familiar with "Unstable as liquid thou art, thou shalst not prevail." In the case of warfare, however, keeping the enemy guessing gives you an advantage.

Now, how does this connect to historic warfare against Islamic invasions? It means switching alliances and positions (I admit a very un-Western, unfair strategy.) Whom will trust you? You do not betray good and loyal allies. Allies like our US's Saudi Arabia and Pakistan . . . ? Are they with us? Who's to know? They are Islamic States. When it comes to choosing between Islam and us, what will their loyalty make them choose? Look at Pakistan. Or better, don't look, because it'll make your blood boil.

Instances where switching alliances to achieve the goal can be found throughout history. But there is one factor we haven't touched: the goal--you have to have a clearcut goal. (And you must know who your enemy is.) El Cid* wanted Valencia--he got it, and not through the straight and narrow either. The Cossacks wanted . . . what? Wine, women and booty (catch the redundancy?) Yes, but their immediate goal was not to serve the Sultan of Constantinople. [See the post about FEAR on this blog.]

The goal is what you must keep your eye on. Whom do you ally with (an alliance of convenience, a temporary alliance)? Keep your eye on the target--always--sight in on it, then squeeeeze the trigger. You'll get a hit. But of you don't know your goal--what you want--what you really-really want--you're floundering about with the rock-hard albatross and gull and other self-made rules engraved on stone tablets hung around your neck (Geneva Conventions, Two states living side by side, help the [insert some Islamic name} people rebuild their nation as a democracy, no matter what it costs us in money and manpower--dead and wounded.

Now some examples: El Cid, sided with Christian kings and at times Moslem emirs, to get the prize: Valencia. He wanted it as his own fiefdom and attained it. I love the Cossacks's dictum: need will amend law--that's situation ethics. This is "ethics" we are talking about here--not morality.

"Thou shalt not murder," leaves room for you to pursue war. The rest of the ten rules for proper moral conduct can also be followed without compromising your objective.

So what additional rules can we follow? "To thine own self be true and thou canst not be false to any man."' Shakespeare again; he had it down.

Okay, so we have to know and see our goal, a target to aim for. Then we get to that goal by avoiding opposing (enemy) players, then when the goal is there, don't stop! kick the frickin' ball, make that goal! this

What is our--the West's goal? To keep Islam from enslaving or killing us. Stay liquid, agile, fast footwork. No dumb-ass rhino-like charges, short-sighted, no bull going after the cape. If you're gonna play the part of the bull, go for the matador! If you are the rhino, make it a short charge, fast and hit the target, then off you go. The wolverine supposedly pursues its hunter unflinchingly, as long as it takes for the kill. Be a wolverine!

Deception, stealth, hit and retreat, inflict the most damage you can. Do not worry about the "poor wounded enemey." How sad? The stupid West: "How can we help him after we beat him in a battle?" That is not the way to win the war. Iraq is a battle in a war.

Does the Enemy use Deception, lies, and false ceasefires to "peace" to deceive us?

You're looking for justification for dishonesty, deception and lying for "True Believers" (Moslems)? Here are some examples to choose from:

And for those to whom the Scripture Book has been given, and the believers, there should be no doubt. The unbelievers may say, ‘What does the Lord intend by this?’ The Lord will lead astray whomever He pleases, and He will guide whomever He pleases: and none can know the armies of your Lord except He, and this is no other than a warning to mankind.”

So write, ‘This is what Muhammad bin Abdallah has agreed to.’ The Apostle could not write, so he asked Ali to erase the expression: ‘Apostle of Allah.’ On that Ali said, ‘I will never erase it.’ Muhammad said, ‘Let me see the paper.’ The Prophet
erased the expression with his own hand.”
