Revealed: Pentagon predicts wars of the future
The proud journos at TPMMuckraker have managed to acquire the titles of various Pentagon Office of Net Assessment reports through a Freedom of Information request. Here’s what’s been on their minds:
The Great Siberian War Of 2030
The Revival Of Chinese Nationalism: Challenges To American Ideals
The Future Of Undersea Warfare
Chinese And Russian Asymmetrical Strategies For Space Dominance (2010-2030)
That last one is relevant to the recent news of a military (but possibly not weapons-carrying, what with the Outer Space Treaty [thanks commenter Kian]) Chinese space station.
As the actual content of the reports is still classified we can amuse ourselves by wondering what Biometaphor For The Body Politic [March 2006] refers to. It sounds like a description of someone explaining the Facts of Life with handpuppets.

Mr. James,
I haven’t read the papers you cite yet, but try this one:

If it doesn’t scare the bejesus out of you, you’re not paying attention. The title says a lot.
