guardian.co.uk— The ONE time I saw this story on U.S.A. television was on a local news station. Just try and search for it on CNN.com. The only official news sites on which it is listed are foreign.

@CatalystGhostHave you read "The Art of War?" It is certainly old, but it does not advocate "go march in big lines and kill people." In fact, one of the reasons that it is still considered relevant and studied today is that he stresses a very "fluid" warfare. People like T.E. Lawrence are said to have been influenced by it, and most guerrilla fighters could be said to be taking a page out of Sun Tzu.If you haven't read it, I would advise it. Most of it is not specific to military confrontations, and could be applied to any adversarial situation. In fact, I have heard that many business students are required to read it for just that reason. I would advise picking up an annotated copy, because most of the translations are a little but, um, "poetic" (i.e. hard to understand for a speaker of modern English).
it didn't get out much except on some military blogs and such but there is a firm belief that if there ever was a juba, he was sniped by US forces some months ago.The rest have just been copy cats.p.s. for all you wannabe juba fans out there, he wasn't that good. Else he wouldn't have lost his head. Am I right?boom. head shot, bitch.

Don't you mean: "language with the times does change?"

Merreborn - Maybe it will give military moms one more reason to demand their sons come back home in one piece. Halliburton ain't worth it.
