Missing "Stupid"

clipped from pajamasmedia.com OODA Loops. The ’stupid’ GWB got the US inside most of the OODA loops of the major enemies de jour (NK, Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Syria and Libya) which, it is now clear, had established themselves as a loose coalition. While each had their own intentions, all had nuclear ambitions, and all sought to place limits on the US ability to respond in their area. One of the limiting tools they sought to use was AQ (9/11 & etc) and there were many others. Of these actors: NK - stymied Taliban Afghanistan - destroyed Iraq - destroyed Syria - damaged Libya - forced to abjure the game Iran - responded effectively and to a degree countered GWB, but very heavily defeated in its intentions for Iraq Others: Russia. Stymied, but finally capable of limited action on its borders in 2008. 2009’s regime change in the US has swept the board in favour of these enemies de jour.
