"The Long War"

[Landau, James]

I have never seen this term before, nor do I know how much of a
Washington insider Oliver North currently is.

For more than a decade Air Force wonks have been tinkering with the
design and specifications for a new aerial tanker. The planes are an
absolute necessity for the kinds of worldwide deployments being
conducted in the global war on terror ---- or "The Long War"  -- in
Washington's new vernacular.

OT:  as a chauvinistic Northrop-Grumman employee, let me say that, while
I have not seen anything else North has written and therefore cannot
judge him as a columnist, in this particular column he does not know
what he is talking about.
