Keep moving

ABC news portrays British commander's tactics of constantly moving:Abcnews.com

Don't be a sitting duck. The tactics clearly are not working. Why are we focusing on Baghdad and areas where we have no control, and have little intelligence?

With all the construction resources available, new cities should be built that are clearly populated with people who can be trusted. Clearly trusted.

Leave the old ones behind. Do the continuous bombing that was done in Yugoslavia in this manner: You can tell people in advance that we will do a bombing run, that way civilians know in advance to get out of there. Why? If you do constant bombardment, the people will surely get tired of it and reject violence for non-violence.

Those who try to leave for heavily fortified safe zones must be screened first.
Let them come to you. Not the other way around. You cannot fight a guerrilla war the way we are doing it.

In those areas which are remote, constantly moving with air support is a very good idea.

Use your strengths to your advantage, and build up on your weaknesses.
