This great energy on the Iraqi side, this rebellion, would trigger escalation on our part to overcome the new situation and impose our will anew, violence following violence in ever more intense cycles. The original policy goals change under the pressure of war and domestic political interests (objective versus subjective policy in Clausewitzan terms) join in changing political considerations. The danger exists that the war may lose its instrumental character, at least for the side that started it, taking on an increasingly autonomous nature.
This analysis is possible with Clausewitz, but not with the thought of his positivist detractors such as the historian John Keegan who avoids the political element altogether, nor with the Boydian/4GW school tainted as they are with their close connections with Dick Cheney and their fixation on their bugaboo of "Trinitarian Warfare", whatever that might be.
As Dr. Herberg-Rothe's impressive book indicates, Clausewitzian strategic theory is still the cutting edge and will continue to be so until someone comes along with a better general theory of war, but even then it will most likely be a structure built on the foundation the Prussian master laid in the early 19th Century.
