But Mr Clegg did also borrow George Bush's "decapitation strategy" from the Iraq war to describe Lib dem objectives for target seats in the last election, so no one is immune. <br /><br />I do think there is a symbiotic link between the psychology of political campaigning and actual warfare - Clauswitz famously described war as the continuation of politics by other means.
