  Fog of war - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The fog of war is a term used to describe the level of ambiguity in situational awareness experienced by participants in military operations.
The practical experience of the fog of war is most easily demonstrated in the tactical battlespace, it may include military commanders' incomplete or inaccurate intelligence regarding their enemy's numbers, disposition, capabilities, and intent, regarding features of the battlefield, and even including incomplete knowledge of the state of their own forces.
Fog of war is caused by limited reconnaissance, by the enemy's feints and disinformation, by delays in receiving intelligence and difficulties passing orders, and by the difficult task of forming a cogent picture from a very large (or very small) amount of diverse data.

Drawing analogies between controversial wars is often an effective way of underlining a political point.
While some analysts believe the most important result of the war was a tarnishing of Israel's much vaunted military deterrent (especially at home where confidence in the IDF has dropped precipitously), and a boost in self-confidence to Iran, a look behind the polls at the actual devastation of southern Lebanon is instructive.
Israel may have fought a shoddy war, and Prime Minister Olmert and Defence Minister Peretz may be under pressure at home for their handling of it, but messy as it was, it can be seen as a success.

Veblen considers the combination of economic and political factors that make gov'ts go to war and what are some of the ways that the predatory state can be made less likely to go to war.
Needless to say, this requires democratic reforms(since the economic gains of going to war are concentrated while their economic and personal costs are widespread, any decentralization of political governance will serve as a bulwark against the country going to war.), mutually-beneficial trading arrangements and alterations in the nationalistic, patriotic ardor of nations.
And if a president does lead his country into war, they should be held accountable for the manner in which they led the country into war.

Robert S. McNamara was both witness to and participant in many of the crucial events of the 20th century: the crippling Depression of the 1930s; the industrialization of the war years; the development of a different kind of warfare based on air power and the creation of a new American meritocracy.

 Media Things: The Fog of War
In the Johnson administration's deceptive hyping of the Gulf of Tonkin incident as a provocation to war, we see the Bush administration's deceptive hyping of the supposedly imminent threat of Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction for the same purpose.
McNamara's stern warnings against waging war unilaterally and against trying to win the hearts and minds of a foreign land without understanding its culture first, we find historical lessons we didn't heed as we blundered into the escalating chaos of our "postwar" occupation of Iraq.
Such a classic tragic flaw is personal, not political, which is why "The Fog of War" is moving in the end.

 BBC - Films - The Fog Of War
An engrossing and illuminating documentary, The Fog Of War provides, as its stodgy subtitle explains, "11 Lessons From The Life Of Robert McNamara." Which doesn't sound very thrilling, but the reflections of the former US Secretary of Defence provide a window into the moral reasoning of a brilliantly-minded manager who became a self-declared "war criminal".
There are no great revelations, no conspiracy theories unpicked, but the slick self-justification of this charismatic 80-year-old is quietly devastating, as he claims that "In order to do good you may have to engage in evil" (lesson nine), or "You can't change human nature" (lesson 11).
