Fuchs APC.

Interesting article.

I'm reminded of Hitler's statement about the Soviet Union, "The whole structure is rotten, you only need to give it a good kick and it will collapse". Obviously Hitler was wrong, but in this case it sounds pretty much right.

How many of troops in the region are actually combat troops?

Is there any confirmation from other sources that there are American combat forces in Iraq? I would expect that there's CIA there, and maybe a few Special Forces, but Army Engineers building landing strips? Who else claims this?

As more of a case is made for this invasion I hope the admistration keeps up with the number of opponants who seem to be on the TV and other media daily.I thought some of Secretary Rumsfeld's anaolgies were right on the mark. They might even try the quote on Rush Limbaughs web sight about the poisoning of the dog.To think of that video, not as the poisoning of an animal.But to think of it as a human being a member of your family.Because they were testing it to find out how well it kills people!

Excellent article. I'm thinking this might have a serious impact on Saddam's life insurance rates, eh?

Decision Time: The Iraq question.

Exactly
I figure it’ll work something like this.

The Turks are going to contain and hold Northern Iraq, also known as Kurdistan, against any tanks or infantry saddam can dig up and throw to the North. They’ll be supported by the Turkish air force as well as the USAF out of Incirlik AB in southern Turkiya. U.S. Special Forces and Army Mountain troops, supported by the Turks, push to the limit of the Northern No-Fly zone and secure it. This allows the Turks to control Northern Iraq, which will be their buffer zone after the regime change.

At the same time US troops, who just happen to be conveniently located in Jordan as we speak, will move to the Jordanian border to secure and defend, as well as give forward operating locations.

Mean while, the massive Marine invasion, supported by the USAF out of Qatar, hits Iraq from the Persian Gulf, secures Kuwait then moves all the way to the Southern No-Fly zone. Iraq now has No-Fly/No-Enter zones that effectively cut the country into three pieces.

The equipping and training of the Iraqi resistance begins, while saddam whines and cries from Baghdad. Anytime he moves something, the USAF destroys it. It’s just a matter of time at this point.

And I think we’ll see it BEFORE October. Only those that never attended jump training in Fort Benning Georgia in the summer would think that it’s “too hot” to fight in summer. And for this type of fighting, outside the cities, a huge amount of smart weapons won’t be necessary, plain ‘ole dumb bombs work just fine in the desert, so all this “we gotta restock the arsenal” is just another smoke screen. The democrats won’t get their October surprise (it’ll come before then) and they won’t win any seats in the house or senate either, since everyone’s eyes will be riveted to the happenings in Iraq.
