ABCNews.com reports: "Likely to be among those called to testify is military strategist Harlan K. Ullman. Two weeks ago, Palfrey alleged that Ullman, creator of the 'shock and awe' combat theory and now a scholar with the Center for Strategic and International Studies, was a customer of her business. Ullman has said that the claim was 'beneath the dignity of comment.'"

Harlan Ullman is a United States Naval Commander. Wikipedia quotes a Washington Times column in which Commander Ullman wrote: "The world indeed has changed. But not as we think. American power and perceived omnipotence have been greatly neutralized or displaced...This means aligning our ego with reality. Mr. Bush once called for a more humble foreign policy. The times never demanded one more."

According to Wikipedia:

The principal author of Shock and Awe: Achieving Rapid Dominance, Harlan Ullman was one of the most vocal critics of the shock and awe campaign. Ullman stated, "The current campaign does not appear to correspond to what we envisioned." In addition, "the bombing that lit up the Baghdad night skies the next day, and in the following days, did not match the force, scope and scale of the broad-based shock-and-awe plan, Ullman and U.S. officials say." In a question directed to Ullman, asking if it is "too late for shock and awe now?" Ullman responded "We have not seen it; it is not coming."[12]

Ullman noted that plan called for "an attack into the center of Baghdad, taking it over, followed by successive takeovers expanding from the center of the city." Also the "bombing campaign did not immediately go after Iraqi military forces in the field, particularly the Republican Guard divisions and political levers of power, such as the Baath Party headquarters." Instead Ullman, states that the "shock and awe" implementation was more of a siege.[12]

Apparently, the "Bush administration throttle[d] back on the Iraqi bombing" and the original plan was scrubbed days before its implementation as "political concerns over civilian casualties factored into the decision."[12]

According to The Guardian correspondent Brian Whitaker in 2003, "To some in the Arab and Muslim countries, Shock and Awe is terrorism by another name; to others, a crime that compares unfavourably with September 11."[13] Anti-war protesters in 2003 also claimed that "the shock and awe pummeling of Baghdad [was] a kind of terrorism."[14] The radical cleric Moqtada al-Sadr has also accused the United States of engaging in "terrorism" in Iraq.[15]

Harlan Ullman has authored three books - one, with John McCain.

I'm just fascinated by all the "abstinence only" guys in this administration who can't seem to follow their own advice:)  Making foreign officials promise to teach abstinence to prevent AIDS and to promise that they shun hookers?!  Holding others to a higher standard than one holds themselves seems odd to me. What is that about?  Oh wait, maybe it is like the gay republicans, kind of a love hate relationship with reality.

are whining about being caught screwing around. Down South there's a little term for them, but I won't get into it because it describes a sect of Christianity that claims to be holier than thou, proclaiming sex a sin, along with drink and gambling. At the same time, they get caught with whores, after they have stopped by the deacon's house to buy a six pack of beer, on their way to the horse races in Louisiana from their 'dry' county home in Texas.

What I really like about the hypocritical conservanazi is that they cry about Democrats trying to legislate morality. At the same time, they want others to live by the rules the conservanazis want to impose on people. Dictating morality.

bu$h and his conservanazi friends are 6 or 7 Commandment christians. Maybe they need to read the commandments to themselves before they try to stick them in the public's eye.

BUCK FUSH !!!
