All wars have simple strategic storylines. In the U.S. Civil War, there was the Union’s Anaconda Plan to strangle the Confederacy and later the March to the Sea to slice what was left in two. In World War II, U.S. strategy centered on “Europe first,” as well as the principle of unconditional surrender by Germany and Japan. During the Vietnam War, the United States’ guiding mantra was “search and destroy.” In Iraq, the phrase was “clear, hold, build.”
