OT - Don, the US military has had 10 years to do nothing but map every single fortified position in Iraq, down to the millimeter. Anything there that can't move will be obliterated by precision-guided bunker-busting bombs long before a single US soldier gets near enough to worry about fortifications. Any troop concentration in the open will also be hit. If bunkers aren't safe and you can't stay out in the open, what's left? Remember we enter this campaign with complete air and sea superiority.

The biggest danger will be mobile artillery and rockets that don't use their radars long enough to be tracked. But the net effect will be stinging bees attacking an elephant.

Patton once said that fixed fortifications are a monument to the stupidity of mankind. Saddam loves his palaces and bunkers; if we go to war (which I am not crazy about either) he won't have much longer to enjoy them.

JMHO.
