IN THE NEWS
Armchair Generalist has an excellent post today about the Joint Staff's strategy paper on--ahem--WMEs. Apparently, terrorists armed with conventional weapons, which range from C-4 to box cutters, aren't scary enough. Unfortunately, the Iraq fiasco has made the threat of someone "crossing the streams" of terrorism and WMDs less convincing. OK, so what about WMD-lite--WMEs?
Getting the different services to cooperate on credible scenarios is already hard enough. There's no need to clutter the discussion with doctrinal lint like "WMEs." (Can WMFs--weapons of mass foolishness--be close behind?)
