as a neutral secure base.21 Any damage to international relations with the (unwilling?) host nation is a "win" for the insurgent who can add more allies to his cause. How can modern air power be used to attack the insurgent's security? Well, again, it comes down to the "find" function. The domination of the high plateau of air and, Christian Louboutin Boots indeed, space enables the construction of complete situational awareness. Traditional properties of air power- technological capability, ubiquity, and reach- must be increasingly supplemented by persistence and backed up with vastly enhanced processing and analysis to ensure that the enemy cannot "hide," enabling us both to strike whenever we want and to use the most Christian Louboutin sale appropriate strike assets. Perhaps more importantly, it also gives us the option to strike only if we want to: reliable situational awareness may mean that our cause maybe better served by not striking, thus preserving intelligence sources, keeping the "known" enemy guessing, and reducing the risk of collateral damage, which could hand the Christian Louboutin Pumps enemy a propaganda coup. A neutral base is useless to insurgents if they can be targeted the instant they leave its protection.
