>In our campaign to eliminate terrorism, we must be fully aware of an

>coupled with (2) collateral damage to already-impoverished civilians

>arising from our military actions.

>This potent combination provides extremely fertile ground forterrorists

>to (1) spread their lies, (2) fan the fire of hatred, (3) inspire people

>to support their cause, and (4) enlist new recruits.

>

>As we eliminate existing terrorism, let us NOT make the terrible mistake

>of fertilizing the ground for the next generation of terrorists.

>This danger can be largely or entirely avoided by adopting the " Two Hump

>Camel Doctrine, " which should apply to ALL overt military actions

>(ground or air) taken in any third-world country:

>

>1. Any military objective (the first " hump " of the " camel " ) shall be

>accompanied by a humanitarian objective (the second " hump " of the

> " camel " ), which is to reduce the suffering of all civilians who live in

>the affected region. Civilians shall be supplied with food, clothing,

>medical supplies, other essentials, and means of receiving truthful

>news and information. We shall also deliver pamphlets written by respected,

>peace-loving religious leaders of the Muslim (or other) faith--pamphlets

>which show respect for their religion.

>

>2. Our forces shall REMOVE terrorists and terrorist supporters, while

>simultaneously DELIVERING humanitarian aid to the innocent people of

>the affected region. Every act of war shall be accompanied by an act of

>peace.

>

>3. Distribution shall be the joint effort of military personnel and

>nonmilitary personnel (both paid and volunteer). The Red Cross and

>other humanitarian organizations shall be included. Young Americans

>shall have the opportunity to sign up for service that is limited

>exclusively to civilian objectives. Any air-only action shall include

>planes (or choppers) which parachute humanitarian supplies onto

>civilian targets near the military targets, except in cases where the

supplies

>are likely to be commandeered from the civilians for military use.

>

>4. All civilian beneficiaries of our aid shall be treated with love and

>without arrogance. Our goal shall be to WIN their HEARTS. They shall

>then be enlisted to help in the furtherance of our civilian objectives.

>As our army marches into any land, our ranks shall widen with the miles

>traversed, as the civilian inhabitants of the region enthusiastically

>join us, shoulder to shoulder, friend to newfound friend--an enemy

>nation being converted into a new ally.

>

>Mr. President, we simply cannot afford to risk leaving millions of

>impoverished civilians hating us. In some cases, the second " hump " of

>aid distribution might increase the short-term (strike-related) risks

>involved in the first " hump " of military action. However, we MUST

>accept this increased short-term risk, because the alternative is to

>increase the long-term risk of fertilizing the ground for more

>terrorism. I therefore implore you to add the second " hump " to our

>American military " camel. "

>God Bless America, and God Bless Planet Earth.

Gulf War general outlines military strategy

By Sesno CNN Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON (CNN) --Former Clinton administration drug czar, retired Army

Gen. Barry McCaffrey, said in an online exchange last month that those

against the United States in its war on terrorism would " be killed

suddenly, in significant numbers and without warning. "

McCaffrey, who commanded the 24th Mechanized Infantry Division in the

Persian Gulf War, offered his blunt assessment on the mission and the

strategy confronting the United States and its allies in an e-mail exchange

with a cadet at West Point, where McCaffrey teaches.

The exchange took place September 19 -- a little more than a week after the

deadliest terror attacks on U.S. soil. McCaffrey and others have since

distributed the e-mail widely to friends and associates in the national

security community.

McCaffrey told CNN he is not displeased the exchange became public, because

he is eager to articulate the likely multi-faceted course of action.

McCaffrey identified multiple objectives -- to increase domestic security,

build a strong coalition and finally " take the gloves off and use

integrated military power to find, fix and destroy " terrorist organizations.

He told the cadet, " We are going to disrupt these people through preemptive

attack ... we will deceive them, we will run psyops on them, at selected

points and times they will be killed suddenly, in significant numbers, and

without warning. "

" Tomahawk missiles, 2000 pound laser guided weapons dropped from B2's or

F22's at very high altitude, remote control, booby traps, blackmail and at

places, small groups of soldiers or SEALs will appear in total darkness,

blow down the doors and kill them at close range with automatic weapons and

hand grenades, " the e-mail message read.

McCaffrey went on to say: " We will find their money and freeze it. We will

arrest their front agents. We will operate against their recruiting and

transportation functions. We will locate their training areas and surveil

or mine them. We will isolate them from their families.

" We will try to dominate their communication function and alternately

listen, jam or spoof it. We will make their couriers disappear. If we can

find out how they eat, or play or receive rewards, or where they sleep --

we will go there and kill them by surprise. "

McCaffrey said the military component would be " a supporting but lesser

aspect of a strategy that will be based fundamentally on diplomatic and

economic leverage to compel cooperation with international law. "

The retired general said there would need to be substantial and costly

efforts to reduce the " environmental factors " that feed " extremist madness. "

[*]That would include " dramatically increased " international aid to address

the poverty of Palestinians, Afghans, Sudanese and others, he said.

A U.S. military official who was shown McCaffrey's comments said they were

the " insights of a very smart guy. "

Another official said they do not contain any national secrets, but they do

accurately reflect the strategy the United States has adopted.

In the words of this official: " It's the plan. "
