Wack-A-Mole / Rope-A-Dope

As Senator John McCain has famously said on many occasions before he got surge fever, what we have in Iraq is a case of wack-a-mole. As our troops moved into one area, the enemy moves out. And so it goes, you wack-a-mole here and he pops up there. I think that Caddy Shack should be part of basic training for all would be Generals and Paradigm Shift Engineers. Having said that, the Iraqis have been watching old footage of Muhammad Ali's fights. You know the ones where he rope a dopes his opponent by standing down while his opponent wears himself, out lulling them in to a sense of security.

A lot can be learned by watching old movies and fight strategy footage...
