Human Terrain System = Military Intelligence Program

[Jan Klimkowski]

And now as General Petraeus dominates flat screens all over the world, it should come as no surprise that a COIN-based communications game plan is being used by Petraeus to convince the USA's Human Terrain (American people, the US Congress and influencers from every walk of life) that, like Felix the Cat, Petraeus can pull something out of his magic bag to stop the madness in Afghanistan and Iraq. Don't forget, in the COIN-HT view, the battlefield-the HT-is global and electronic. This is no silly conspiracy. It is simply part of the process and very much a marketing campaign.

But the problem is that Petraeus' magic bag holds nothing more than TRADOC's woeful Human Terrain System and a covert intelligence program. This is a global kill/capture effort designed by Petraeus and Admiral Olsson (USSOCOM)-and approved by Obama--that not only seeks to wipe out those antithetical to US interests, but also enlists US businessmen/women, academics, journalists and US troops as global intelligence gathering platforms. We are all part of the COIN-HT analysis team now.
Petraeus has nothing more to offer.

Yup.

The entire political/governmental/military/MSM bureaucracy has been trapped inside this illiterate, fundamentally inane, template.

Stuffed inside a banal and thanatoid frame.

McChrystal and Petraeus increasingly resemble pallid zombies out of a low budget remake of a Romero classic.

Putrefaction is setting in.

How much longer can this continue?
