	Asia Times Online :: Asian News, Business and Economy - The Long War: A self-defeating prophecy
		Early this year the United States entered a third stage in the war that began on September 11, 2001, as a new narrative for the conflict was unveiled: "The Long War".
		Third, having presented a war logic that is beyond dispute, the narrative then serves practically as the anointed rhetorical handbook for how the war is to be argued and described.
		The Long War narrative cannot conceive of legitimate Muslim resistance against tyranny (unless, of course, as in Lebanon or Iran, the US is in favor of it first).

		The schools were a key venue for generating support for the war, as teachers proclaimed the importance of the war effort and the atrocities of the enemy to students.
		Two years later, as war with the western powers loomed, Saddam recognized Iranian rights over the eastern half of the Shatt al-Arab, a reversion to the status quo ante bellum that he had repudiated a decade earlier.

	War - Wikiquote
		All wars are wars among thieves who are too cowardly to fight and therefore induce the young manhood of the whole world to do the fighting for them.
		War alone brings up to their highest tension all human energies and imposes the stamp of nobility upon the peoples who have the courage to make it.
		War is a natural condition of the State, which was organized in order to be an effective instrument of violence on behalf of society.

	David T. Fautua, "The 'Long Pull' Army: NSC-68, the Korean War, and the Creation of the Cold War U.S. Army
		The fact that historians have credited the Korean War for the build-up has only obfuscated the special connection that NSC 68 and the Army had and the contribution it made to the nature of the rearmament in the early 1950s.
		Adding to the frustration was the unhappy realization that since the war took place on the "periphery" and was being fought for limited political gains, America's atomic superiority proved unable to deter the invasion and useless to recoup the lost territory.
		The fact remains that the Korean War did occur and that NSC 68 was the primary national security policy which the JCS used to estimate its supplements, which resulted in a tripling of the FY 1950 budget.

	TIME: September 11 — Essay — Get Ready for the Next Long War
		The 20th century is often said to have begun on Aug. 1, 1914, with the opening attacks of what became the Long War—a war that eventually encompassed the First and Second World Wars, the Bolshevik Revolution, the Spanish Civil War, the wars in Korea and Vietnam, and the cold war.
		War cannot be outlawed; like law, war is a function of the state, which was created to establish law and make war.
		The phrase War Against Terrorism is an unfortunate choice of titles for the current conflict because it calls to mind pseudo wars that never end, such as the War on Drugs or the War on Crime.

		The Cold War, he wrote, was World War III, and our current war may substantially resemble it--requiring a long and heavy commitment and the defeat of a totalitarian ideology.
		The popular view after World War I was that we had just "made the world safe for democracy," and after the fall of the Berlin Wall the comparable litany was that "the Cold War is over." Each of these popular slogans in effect sounded a similar call: for a long national beach party.
		In World Wars I and II we made it clear that we were fighting for freedom: in Wilson's Fourteen Points, and Roosevelt and Churchill's Atlantic Charter.

	TomPaine.com - The Neocons' Long War
		Officially, Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld calls it “The Long War,” a propaganda term designed to echo “the Cold War,” and the Pentagon intends to brainwash Americans into supporting a generation-long struggle that will lay the groundwork for an American hegemony in the 21st century.
		It is this mission, designed to combat an enemy that the Bush administration describes as equal in magnitude to the threat posed by German Nazism or Soviet communism, which is driving both the QDR and the huge expansion of the budget for the Defense Department and the U.S. intelligence community over the next few years.
		It’s a shocking misallocation of resources, one that makes a mockery of the fact that the Cold War is long over and that the world is mostly at peace.

		The cold war dominated the world from 1946 to 1991: the long war could determine the shape of the world for decades to come.
		To wage the long war, the report urges Congress to grant the Pentagon and its agencies expanded permanent legal authority of the kind used in Iraq, which may give US commanders greatly extended powers.
		"Long duration, complex operations involving the US military, other government agencies and international partners will be waged simultaneously in multiple countries round the world, relying on a combination of direct (visible) and indirect (clandestine) approaches," the report says.

	Lyndon LaRouche: Rumsfeld's 'Long War' Is Imperial Fascism
		It's perpetual war, as practiced by the Roman Empire, through the deployment of its legions, to destroy the ability of its subject populations to resist, even to resist chaos.
		This phrase "long war," is a deliberate evasion in the hands of Rumsfeld, LaRouche said: It's imperialism in the Roman tradition.
		The 113-page Quadrennial Defense Review has three main elements: the definition of the "long war," a strategic conflict with China, and the military hardware and force structure changes that are called for to deal with the first two elements.

	Reason: The Forever War: How long can an emergency last?
		Likewise, U.S. forces fought what looked like a war in Afghanistan, with planes bombing targets, organized groups of men shooting at each other, and civilians suffering "collateral damage." But after the Taliban were defeated and a new government was installed, this literal phase of the war on terrorism seemed to be petering out.
		Bush did not declare war on Al Qaeda or the Taliban; he declared war on terrorism, which will be with us in one form or another for the foreseeable future.
		But the open-ended nature of the struggle against it means that the war on terrorism, unlike conventional wars, cannot be viewed as a passing emergency.

		What we never considered was a long, slow war, a conflict that burned and sputtered, skittered from one spot on the map to the other.
		The old wars were monophonic, scored by Max Steiner, released by Warner Brothers, and the only proof they really happened at all was the small battered box in the back of Dad’s sock drawer, the box that held some oddly colored metal bars.
		Two years later I take a certain grim comfort in some people’s disinterest in the war; if you’d told me two years ago that people would be piling on the President and bitching about slow progress in Iraq, I would have known in a second that the nation hadn’t suffered another attack.

	Rumsfeld Offers Strategies for Current War - washingtonpost.com
		The QDR strategy draws heavily on lessons learned by the military from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the worldwide campaign against terrorism, shifting the Pentagon's emphasis away from conventional warfare of the Cold War era toward three new areas.
		Military leaders and officials in the Bush administration have taken to calling the global war on terrorism the "long war," which defense experts say is a recognition that there is no end in sight.
		Rumsfeld said he does not believe the war will end with a bang but, instead, with a whimper, "fading down over a sustained period of time as more countries in the world are successful," much as how democracy outlasted communism in the Cold War.

		In World War II and then in World War III, we persisted in spite of impatience, discouragement, and opposition for as long as it took to win, and this is exactly what we have been called upon to do today in World War IV.
		It is this, then, that (to paraphrase George W. Bush and a long string of his predecessors, Republican and Democratic alike) we in our turn, no less than the "greatest generation" of the 1940’s and its spiritual progeny of the 1950’s and after, have a responsibility to uphold and are privileged to defend.

		Winning the ‘long war’ requires a battle we have been loathe to fight, and moreover, one that we have been ill prepared for.
		When considering this war, it should be clear to all that it is not a hunt for Usama bin Laden, nor was it to be the removal of the Taliban or the primary leaders of al-Qaeda.
		For the purposes of the ‘long war’ - no states are, as of yet (after the fall of the Taliban and Hussein) properly classified as participants against the US.

	The Long War - by William S. Lind
		Long wars are usually strategic disasters for winners as well as losers, because they leave all parties exhausted.
		It is easy enough to define alternate, less ambitious objectives that might avoid the strategic disaster of a long war.
		We might say that our objective is to be left alone in our part of the globe, to enjoy peace, prosperity, and an ordered liberty at home, while we leave Muslims alone in their traditional territories.

		For its supporters, the war’s necessity is beyond debate, given that Islamic extremists from al-Qaeda attacked U.S. targets on Sept. 11, 2001.
		Under that analysis, waging a Long War and occupying a major Islamic country such as Iraq could be putting the United States in greater danger, not less.
		The hard truth is that Abizaid’s Long War may not only be long, bloody and costly, it may be counterproductive, increasing danger to the American homeland, not reducing it.

		They find the phrases "violent extremism" and "the long war" useful because they remind the public that the fight against al Qaeda around the world is likely to be a long struggle.
		Although the country is divided about the link between the fight in Iraq and the war on terrorism, Myers and other Pentagon leaders frequently argue that if the fight in Iraq is not won, the country will become a safe haven from which terrorists can plot against the United States.
