The Journal of Military Operations – New, Free Online Academic Journal | War and Security The Journal of Military Operations, a new peer-reviewed academic journal, has just published its first issue. It is available online at You have to register, but it is free. Its editor, Dr Jim Storr, states on the Birmingham “On War” blog that it aims to fill a gap for a journal “which focuses on how armed forces do, and should, fight wars.” This is a very promising venture, which fills a gap in the market and is free. It is produced by the IJ Group, which was founded by A. an online, peer-reviewed “journalzine” concerned with strategy as the product of consciously linking ends, ways, and means. You do have to register separately for the two journals, but doing so is quick. Like this: Like Loading...

Thomas P.M. Barnett :: Weblog Cartoon found here (in an FT op-ed that fits this post nicely - if orthogonally). Read through a variety of the tenth-year anniversary reviews, and I thought Thomas Friedman's was the best - despite the weird title (Democrats, Dragons or Drones?). His basic notion that it takes the next generation to create and shape the subsequent reality is correct. Friedman pegs it at "9 months and 21 years to develop." Fair enough. But the question (as he also notes) hinges on that generation's journey. We won the war - no doubt, and then took a pass on the postwar. The resulting strategic "pre-emption" was oddly symmetrical in ambition but certainly not in cost (and why should it be so between a superpower and a non-state actor?). But instead of embracing it, we did what we always do and called the postwar another war. And then the White House, chastened finally by the 2006 midterms, relabeled the conflict and rebranded the mission - and then we succeeded again. So what are we left with?

Foreign Policy: The 10 Worst Predictions for 2008 1 Scott Gries/Getty Images If [Hillary Clinton] gets a race against John Edwards and Barack Obama, shes going to be the nominee. Gore is the only threat to her, then. Barack Obama is not going to beat Hillary Clinton in a single Democratic primary. Ill predict that right now. William Kristol, Fox News Sunday, Dec. 17, 2006 Weekly Standard editor and New York Times columnist William Kristol was hardly alone in thinking that the Democratic primary was Clintons to lose, but it takes a special kind of self-confidence to make a declaration this sweeping more than a year before the first Iowa caucus was held. Peter writes: Should I be worried about Bear Stearns in terms of liquidity and get my money out of there? Hopefully, Peter got a second opinion. 3 ERIC CABANIS/Getty Images [In] reality the risks to maritime flows of oil are far smaller than is commonly assumed. 4 Spencer Platt/Getty Images 5 YASUYOSHI CHIBA/AFP/Getty Images For all its flaws, an example to others. 6 Brad Barket/Getty Images
