We citizens don't need to know every detail of every military operation in this new kind of war. Nor should the media tell us and hence our enemy.

What we need to do is follow the axiom of World War II which was 'Loose Lips Sink Ships' and the media has really got to follow that.

The old saying that war is a racket has taken on an even more shameful meaning.

So it's not a matter of the military lying to the press, but it's the job of the military to deny the press any information that will provide aid and comfort to the enemy.

Modern American war is as easy to script as a B movie.

Terrorism, too, must be excised wherever it exists, which will take years, and which can't happen without the total commitment and the everyday involvement of the American people.

Respecting your opponent is the key to winning any bout. Hold your enemy in contempt and you may miss the strategy behind his moves
