That's still a central command structure. It's not 50 different commanders doing what ever they want with out over-site. It's not a bunch of different small forces working independently.

I'm going to guess that you mean al-Qaeda.
They're not a military. They're a terrorist organization. Compleatly different thing there. And I'd really like to know your definition of 'Very successful" when you're applying it to them. If you mean "They've carried out some successful terrorists attacks" yes... But sneaking some people onto a plane and flying it into a building isn't a military thing. it's a terrorist thing. It's very -very- different from a Military.

They are a perfect example of a very very good military who has no central command.
No.... they're not... they're an example of a cell structure terrorist organization.

WOW.... are you deluded.... they are no "Wave of the future as far as modern military offensives are concerned" They're simply terrorists, using the same ol stuff as far as terrorists go. Cell structure so when you're captured you can't reveal but a tiny bit to the enemy. It also means that almost no one in the terrorist organization means anything to the organization overall. It's purposefully built so that if you're taken out, it doesn't mean anything.
There's been terrorists organizations for a long long time Lenwen. There very likely will be for a long long time. heck there's even terrorist orginisations in Star Trek.
Doesn't make them viable militarizes.

Notice how they are also taking on a world superpower. Without a centralized comand.
Define 'Taking on'. If you mean random and (( to be honest)) infrequent terrorists attacks..... then ok. But they certinly aren't invading. They're not claiming territory. They're --terrorists-- not an active military. It'd be quite easy to just send a few seals into any country and blow up a building or two. Doesn't mean we're 'Taking on that country'.
Lenwen wrote: So your attempt at hamstringing the idea that a multi powerblock alliance could ever take on the coalition with out a centralized comand is just rubbish.
No it's FACT. 1) Fact because that's how it's written. 2) Fact by any sort of actual real world logic you'd wish to imply.
Can one of those groups (( or even more)) Carry out some terrorist acts against the CS? Sure.
But you may have noticed, Lenwen.. when they bombed the WTC in 93.... the US didn't fall. When they took down the towers... we still didn't fall. If anything we pulled together stronger. By the logic you're using, the United States should be no more because there's multiple terrorist orginisations that hate us and want to see us fail.
We're still kickin'.
Same as the CS is still kicking even though there's a bunch of baddies out there that hate them.

Ive shown that not only is it possible threw the al-quad ise of a none centralized command but that .. THAT style of a military would more often then not.. successfully take on the coalition and at the very least stop their expansion.
No you haven't. Because al-Qaeda HASN"T WON. You haven't shown in any way, shape, fashion or form anything LIKE what you're claiming. You've just went "al-Qaeda!!" (( Which you may be enlightened runs on the "centralization of decision and decentralization of execution." philosophy. They do have centralized command... they just have a cell structure to keep the other terrorists from giving them up when they are caught. Why? Because they're small and would be irradiated. Our president has his daily schedule put on tv for the world to see. Why? because he's not living in the shadows scared that the world would kill him at the drop of a hat, or that most of his own people would give him up if caught.
al-Qaeda isn't even close to winning.
They're a terrorist organization. Nothing more. They haven't stopped the US. They haven't even slown us down. We're still the biggest kid on the block. You've just thrown them up there because they popped into your head. They didn't 'Take on and win" against the US. They had a few Suicide troops take over a couple of planes. A trick that worked once.... and did it hurt? yeah.. did it stop us? No. We pulled together and have largely taken out the idiots.
You may not have heard.. but Bin Laden is at the bottom of the sea with some holes in his head after hiding out for years in a dinky drab building.
You haven't shown a winning team... You've only pointed out that cockroaches are hard to get rid of. They hide well and they can bite, but the big guy with the shoe will win when he catches them.
There's always going to be dissonants Lenwen. Some of them militant... but they're not taking on other militaries and winning. They can't.
