you might like to think this is Vietnam , Korea ..and when has it ever been part of our military planning to destroy and obliterate every city in Iraq?
Might want to review this most possible scenario here :

If the answers to such compelling questions remain pending, what is certain is that Iraq's mismanagement of the weapons issue will be the most immediate and decisive cause of war.
Military experts predict that the forthcoming war will be fought much differently than that securing the liberation of Kuwait. While aerial bombardment of Iraq in 1991 lasted 45 days, ----->in this war it is expected to last no more than four.<----- Not only has the missilery that will be brought to bear been tried and tested, which was not the case 12 years ago, 70 per cent of the missiles will be of the "smart bomb" variety. According to available information 150 warplanes will be involved in the aerial campaign.
US strategic planners do not foresee an invasion of Iraqi cities, believing that Saddam Hussein and members of his regime will ensconce themselves in secure underground bunkers. Plans, therefore, call for a tight double cordon around Baghdad to be kept in place until the regime collapses or controls no more than the tunnels in which the elite are hiding. That the regime is already shaky is suggested by reports of disarray and rumours of disloyalty within the ranks of its upper echelons. Indeed, it has been suggested that the Iraqi minister of defence is under house, only toted out to attend meetings in which his presence is needed for the cameras.
Simultaneously, Washington is addressing Arab and international concerns over the fate of the Iraqi people, who have no responsibility for bringing their country to its current brink of disaster, yet who stand to suffer the most from an attack while their leaders remain safe in their heavily fortified underground bunkers. Washington has announced that it has made provisions to ship huge amounts of humanitarian aid to the people of every Iraqi city US forces enter.
* let's do try to keep the hysterics and histrionics down to a minimum. Is it that the greatest fear that the US will succede so quickly and make these things come to pass? |
