Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Any type of action like this is a game. Is it disinformation, deception, misdirection -we did that in Kuwait and it caused 10,000 heavy mech tanks and troops to move to the shores of Kuwait only a few hours before we attacked Iraq-or a coindidence? No one ever knows until long after if too late, unless they are every good at figuring our who is their tormenter amount thousands if not far more. In other words, there is always a strategy by which one side hope to win the fight. Winning battles-a tactical matter-is where things get messy. The key is you have to win most of the critical battles to win at strategy-i.e. the war. --- Tony Bartoletti <azb@llnl.gov> wrote: > A fascinating, and plausible hypothesis. > > But if true, it makes me wonder who is *really* behind this activity. > > When it comes to exploiting the vulnerabilities of all all-electronic > > world, the number of possible players becomes explosively large, and > the > possible motives are all over the map as well. > > ____tony____ > > At 09:48 AM 10/26/01 -0800, you wrote: > >I wonder if someone's strategic thinking could be along these lines > of > >deception? > >Two incidents don't make a clear pattern, but... > > > >Target : U.S. > > [snip] > > >Plan: > >Encourage a shift from transportation and physical communication to > >electronic. > > [snip] > > Tony Bartoletti 925-422-3881 <azb@llnl.gov> > Information Operations, Warfare and Assurance Center > Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory > Livermore, CA 94551-9900 > > > > > __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
