Tacitus characterizes the first few days of the US's stepped up anti-guerilla campaign in Iraq as "shadowboxing."

I'm reminded of the old adage, "never go in against a Sicilain when death is on the line!" That's gonna bite us in the butt if we're not careful.

Or was I thinking of another adage? Hell, I don't remember.

[wik] Wha? US tactics include a bombing campaign now, except instead of sowing Shock and Awe they're just blowing shit up at random. Because historically, bombing has worked so well against guerilla forces. Follow Tacitus' links.
