Hi Jochen Jansen; I agree that the US can fight any time of the year it wants to, but there are some times that are more convenient than others. This fact is expressed in the US' own doctrine on Iraq: hosta.atsc.eustis.army.mil Or if you don't like to cut and paste, try here: 216.239.53.100 What should be noted instead is that Powell's statement by itself is an indication that the administration is backing down. War is, as usual, delayed another few months into the future. This is consistent with what I've been arguing here. -- Carl P.S. The above link also provides information on the suitability of terrain in Iraq for tank warfare, and on the (in)effectiveness of the US air campaign during the Gulf war.
