jj,

Starting 2 weeks early may have been less than ideal in terms of having maximum force on the initial invasion. But it appears to have been worth it (so far) as it caught them off guard in a lot of ways. I think they were waiting for another gulf war: a month of bomb strikes followed by 100 hour ground war.
We stopped a LOT of destruction - oils wells, oil platform, etc. - that most definitely would have happened in much larger numbers had we waited.


Good point. I almost forgot about that. Also, we almost got Saddam on Day 1.

Joe
