"I still predict a 110 minute war against Saddam. It'll be much easier than Afghanistan [as Saddam says, Iraq isn't Afghanistan]."

Actually, I think just a simple Air Show is in order! Well, send in the Blue Angels and a squadron of B-52's. A little 30 minute air show by the Blue Angels followed by some demonstrations of percision high altitude bombing by the B-52's should do the trick. After all, The Kiwi's will surrender with just a drive-by. I mean sail-by!

But, we will have to make a show of it. We will send some tanks across the border to set up some volleyball nets, and some heavy equipment to dig a proper pit for the BBQ.

Kind of like the final race in America's Cup 1988, when Dennis Connor and crew, (who put a whoopin to Kiwi Magic (NZ7), surprised everyone and wheeled out the BBQ Grill, a rack of ribs, and Hula Girls on the deck of the Catamaran on the final leg to windward.

interesting interview about how much trouble they went through to identify all the targets, then identify the type bomb they want to drop in there to minimize damage to surround area...
This guys says all targets are identified, planned out as to operation.. plane, type bomb. time of day. etc...

In closing he says you cannot image the complex planning that went into the operation..

Maybe not, but sure appreciate the military efforts.
