Having surveyed the Saudi desert near the Yemen border for some microwave links, I can tell you only an army of beduins can fight a war there in the naked sun.

The only war it can be fought is the B52's dropping their cargo at 44.000ft.

<I can honestly say that the naked sun or anywhere inside without air-cond from April 1st is not funny, even for the Arabs. I would expect several things to melt, even those of a metallic variety. Therefore, the likelihood of imminent war within the next 4 weeks is my vote.>

Selva, wouldn't it be good to wait until May in that case? The Americans could drive around in air-conditioned tanks, Humvees and stuff while the poor old Iraqi pretorian guard would be sweltering in their togas.
