I was going to write something, but I am too tired and I remain too pissed over events on another forum.

Instead, here are some other people's views:

• The National Security Strategy of the United States of America
• National Strategy for Combating Terrorism
• Bounding the Global War on Terrorism by Dr. Jeffrey Record of SSI, a critic of the Bush Administration's strategic direction.

And for those who want a better understanding of how strategy is formulated, try the U.S. Army War College Guide to National Security Policy and Strategy
