War "politics by other means"? An unsatisfactory quotation of Clausewitz. Better not even to bother, why not head back to the O-club early and get drunk instead. . . free happy hour munchies. . . or maybe even swing a couple of Iraqi oil money deals, setup your "real" retirenment. . . that sortastuff?
No mention of "information dominance" either, which is really what he's after.
So tell me Colonel if Al Qaida is a "global information power", what does that make us? We do have far more information warfare assets than Al Qaida do we not? We have yourself for example. . .
