Once again the President's designation as Commander and Chief, delegated to other civilians and DOD, may have lead to some kind of a breach within the Administration. No US news, but read this Syrian view of what may have been an Israeli attack on a North Korean package in Syria.

Maybe it is better to fight an asymmetrical guerilla war by even more covert strategies and by engaging a willing proxy. It would be interesting to ask David Petraeus these questions tomorrow.
