Nice photo of the toasted Iraqi. Your reference site was a real propaganda machine. Interesting how the looting rapist Iraqi invaders became such sympathetic figures. Saddam must be the webmaster of that site.

My central point is simple: war has not changed substantially. It is largely---not completely, but largely---carried on by infantry and other relatively conventional means, and air power performs a largely support role

Okay, your earlier posts seemed to indicate that the air/bombing was largley for "show" and the "home crowd". While I agree the it is incumbent on the infantry to "take" the ground, any ground offensive undertaken without an airprepped battlefield will be VERY costly. It is clear that NA advances have been heavily reliant on airstrikes.
