	Psychological Operations In Guerrilla Warfare
		Guerrilla warfare is born and grows in the political environment; in the constant combat to dominate that area of political mentality that is inherent to all human beings and which collectively constitutes the "environment" in which guerrilla warfare moves, and which is where precisely its victory or failure is defined.
		The tactical effort in guerrilla warfare is directed at the weaknesses of the enemy and at destroying their military resistance capacity, and should be parallel to a psychological effort to weaken and destroy their sociopolitical capacity at the same time.
		Guerrilla Weapons Are The Strength of the People over an Illegal Government The armed propaganda in populated areas does not give the impression that weapons are the power of the guerrillas over the people, but rather that the weapons are the strength of the people against a regime of repression.

	Problems of Strategy in Guerrilla War
		The nature of guerrilla warfare is such that guerrilla forces must be employed flexibly in accordance with the task in hand and with such circumstances as the state of the enemy, the terrain and the local population, and the chief ways of employing the forces are dispersal, concentration and shifting of position.
		Indeed, the widespread guerrilla warfare in the plains of Hopei and of northern and northwestern Shantung proves that it is possible to develop guerrilla warfare in the plains.
		Since the war is protracted and ruthless, it is possible for the guerrilla units to undergo the necessary steeling and gradually to transform themselves into regular forces, so that their mode of operations is gradually regularized and guerrilla warfare develops into mobile warfare.

		Another tactic the enemy will use is that of labelling the guerrilla fighter as a 'criminal' or a 'terrorist.' The guerrilla, however, differs from the common criminal as a benefits personally from his or her actions, and attacks indiscrimminately without distinguishing between the exploiters and the exploited.
		As to the matter of military responsibilities, those of the guerrillas are to exterminate small forces of the enemy; to harass and weaken large forces; to attack enemy lines of communications; to establish bases capable of supporting independent operations in the enemy's rear and to force the enemy to disperse its strength.
		In essence guerrillas must be educated both militarily and politically, as not only the burden of helping to achieve revolutionary freedom, but the burden of showing the people the importance and necessity of the movement, and increasing sympathy and support for the movement, lies in their hands.

	Guerrilla War in Iraq by Dr. George Friedman
		Suppressing a guerrilla operation without alienating the indigenous population represents an extreme challenge to the United States that at this point does not appear avoidable -- and the seriousness of which does not appear to be broadly understood.
		More precisely, it is involved in a guerrilla war in the Sunni areas of the country, including much of Baghdad proper as well an arc that runs from due west to the north.
		Since guerrillas choose the time and place of their own attacks and use mobility to evade counterattacks, the guerrilla appears to be outfighting the regular forces.

	Guerrilla war in Iraq spreading - The Boston Globe
		WASHINGTON -- The guerrilla war in Iraq has moved steadily beyond the so-called Sunni Triangle and into areas of the country once considered peaceful, a potentially ominous development for security forces trying to restore order in the country.
		But US intelligence officials said the widening range of attacks could have serious implications for US efforts to quell the guerrilla war, turning citizens from peaceful areas against the coalition forces if it is unable to provide security.
		Military analysts said the widening of the location of attacks is characteristic of a classic guerrilla campaign, in which insurgents seek to destabilize areas of the country that are considered peaceful, slowly expanding the war zone until most of the country fears for its security.

	Guerrilla Funk: War and the Threat to Iraqi Civilians
		It is not Saddam Hussein and his henchmen, but Iraq's 12 million children who will be most vulnerable to the massive use of force that the US plans to unleash against their country in the coming months.
		Because there is only one month's supply of food in the country and the overwhelming majority depend on rations distributed by the Baghdad regime, the chaos of war could tip a population of malnourished children into starvation.
		The ensuing Gulf War and sanctions have crippled the healthcare system causing death rates of children under five to double over the past decade with 70 per cent of deaths caused by easily avoidable bowel diseases and respiratory infections.

	Guerrilla Warfare -- JSCOPE XIX (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The war crimes trials now going on in the former Yugoslavia have reopened the question of the causes of atrocity raised after the realities of the Nazi death camps were brought home to the rest of the world 50 years ago.
		To my mind, guerrilla warfare is the land mine of warfare and should be outlawed for the same reason as that crude, cruel class of weapon, namely that it inflicts unnecessary suffering disproportionately and indiscriminately on combatants and civilians alike.
		Young recognizes that "Guerrilla warfare is calculated to redress the unequal balance of forces between a governing administration and insurgents." And political philosophers of the left like Chomsky and Sartre write as though the very fact of that imbalance (when it disadvantages the left) legitimates both the guerrilla cause and tactics.

	On Guerrilla Warfare — Ch 1
		Though all guerrilla bands that spring from the masses of the people suffer from lack of organization at the time of their formation, they all have in common a basic quality that makes organization possible.
		The fact that revolutionary guerrilla warfare is based on the masses of the people does not in itself mean that the organization of guerrilla units is impossible in a war of counter-revolutionary character.
		Of a general guerrilla war, it has been said: 'When a nation is invaded, the people become sympathetic to one another and all aid in organizing guerrilla units.

	Counter-Guerrilla Air Warfare: The War in Southern Lebanon
		Guerrilla movements depend on a broad base in the population, and if they lack such support, they concentrate their activity on 'conquering' it by ideological, social, and violent methods.
		The principal goals of a war against guerrillas is the preservation of the regime, of the population's normal course of life, and the removal of the strategic threat which the guerrilla movement constitutes.
		A guerrilla war is in continuous metamorphosis and is not bound by the more rigid rules of an all-out war or a static war of attrition between countries.

	Postwar? Or Guerrilla War?
		However, the steady stream of American and Iraqi casualties, the increasingly sophisticated guerrilla attacks on Iraqi infrastructure--and, now, the UN headquarters--suggest that the Iraq war continues, and that only its conventional battlefield phase is over.
		As Phyllis Bennis, a fellow at the Institute for Policy Studies, reminds, "The US-UK war and occupation were and remain illegal." By agreeing to participate under the authority of that occupation force, the UN, unfortunately, is providing a political fig leaf for an illegal occupation.
		We are now witnessing the tragic unfolding of consequences that The Nation--and millions opposed to war--warned against: the fueling of anti-Americanism in the Islamic world; the undermining of the global fight against terrorism and the deaths of innocent US soldiers and Iraqi civilians.

	Global Guerrillas
		Russia is using the removal of a statue commemorating Russian war dead from Tallinn (the capital of Estonia) as a pretext to launch an information/economic war against Estonia in order to destabilize the state (the likely real reason is that Estonia is blocking the construction of a Baltic pipeline to Germany).
		This attack is yet another example of how guerrilla groups are using attacks on companies (to influence corporate psychology) to fight the states that rely upon them for funding (although a close read of this incident suggests that it was the group stumbled upon the right strategy for the wrong reasons).
		Their method uses hierarchical and ideologically cohesive organizational forms to build a shadow state that moves from guerrilla warfare during to the early stages of the conflict to conventional warfare (which enables them to seize/control territory) in the final phases of the conflict.

		The American people are being sold a "war of liberation" that is going to liberate the money right out of their wallets, conscript their children in the service of the Empire, and destroy the last remnants of constitutional government.

		General John Abizaid’s comments came as a group of soldiers aired their concerns on U.S. television, speaking of poor morale and disillusionment with Rumsfeld as well as complained of uncertainty of when they are returning home, said Reuters on its website.
		Abizaid said American forces were now engaged in guerrilla war in Iraq and must adapt their tactics to crush an increasingly organized, cell-based resistance spearheaded by Saddam loyalists.
		The death of a U.S. soldier in an attack Wednesday on a military convoy was the 147th since U.S. forces invaded Iraq March 20, equaling the number of U.S. dead in the 1990-1991 Gulf War and raising alarm about the occupation's high cost in American lives.

		In addition to the guerrilla campaign being waged by the Baathists, he cited a resurgence of Ansar al-Islam, a fundamentalist group the State Department says is tied to al Qaeda, and the appearance of either al Qaeda or al Qaeda "look-alike" fighters on the battlefield.
		Abizaid's remarks were in sharp contrast to those of Rumsfeld, his boss, who insisted from the same lectern 21/2 weeks ago that the U.S. military was not involved in a guerrilla war and who said as recently as Sunday on ABC News that the fighting in Iraq did not fit the definition of guerrilla war.
		While Rumsfeld said that he did not have any good evidence that the Iraqi attacks were being coordinated at the regional level, Abizaid said yesterday that there is regional organization and that it is possible that these regional organizations could become connected throughout the country.
