I see heavy usage of this word, “strategy”, here on this list. It’s a word I typically associate with managerial types (hence my earlier wisecrack) who, unlike GHW, believe in the “vision thing”; so the heavy use here creates cognitive dissonance! To repeat CB’s question, what is meant by “strategy”? Can someone offer some good examples?

P.S: the word is also very popular with military types and militaristic politicians: “strategic presence”, etc. That’s how we explain our military presence in every corner of the world.
