He says during Monday Meeting in June 2004: On both sides of the conflict, the media formed an integral part of military strategy. For their part, the Iraqis attempted to exaggerate their own strength, aiming to undermine the enemy’s confidence in his own strategy while bolstering the fighting morale of their own side. Conversely, the aim of the Americans was to strike fear into the hearts of the Iraqis by demonstrating US strength and resolve, calculating that nobody is prepared to die pointlessly. On the face of it, the course and outcome of the conflict appear to vindicate the American strategy; but, according to Tilger, the limits of military logic in the absence of a post-conflict plan are also readily evident here.
