I know that doesn't specifically answer the question, but I just had Heinz ketchup on my hamburger and for some reason I can't come up with specific examples right now

LOL@ketchup. I'm not following you. Maybe its me, but I don't know how to make it any broader. We have a declared war - the GWOT. We have troops engaged in several theaters. The tactics are clear and dependent on the AO. What is not clear to me are the political objectives and the strategy (ies) to fulfill them. I am indeed looking for the broadest of pictures. If I am phrasing my question poorly, any help would be appreciated.
