I expect the final force to be something under Pollack's 200k minimum number, but not too much. That's infantry and armored. Expect the Air Force target list to expand exponentially. :o}

Hi CobaltBlue; Re: ""The people who thought you could do this with one or two divisions have lost the debate," said Michael O'Hanlon, a defense expert with the Brookings Institution, an independent policy institute. Rumsfeld "ultimately realized that the force of logic pushed toward moderately large numbers." The invasion is expected to be bolstered by large naval and air forces." Back when the plans to attack Iraq with a small force were being made public, I repeatedly stated that there was no way in hell that the military would do that, as it would be in complete contradiction to the principle of worst case planning. I was right. -- Carl
