Invaders can only count with the Bradley M2 to take Baghdad. Forget airplanes, field artillery and guided weapons. Only the Bradley M2 can be useful to take Baghdad. Forget the Abrhams tank too!!! Almost as big as a bus - 9,7m long- and weighting 54.5 tons- it is the work horse of the invading army. But that thing is inneffective in the narrwo streets of Baghdad. It is designed to fire depleted Uranium shells at a long distance. No good for short distance combat. The M1A-2 used int he first guld war 12 years ago, was a total fiasco. Its 1500HP turbines sucked dust and came to a halt. The insulation of the wires melted in the desert heat and shut down the computers. Now perhaps many will know why Bushon the Sr. didn't want to go all the way to Bagdhdad. General Dynamics re-desoign it and nothing remains from the original design. With a crew of 4 its armed with Grenade launchers, anti-aircraft gun, coaxial machine gun. The best bet for the invaders is the Bradley M2. 6.m long, and weighting 22,9 tons, Main weapon a rapid firing 25mm gun. One anti-armor missile launcher plus a 7.62 machine gun. It carries 6-8 soldiers tha come out a back door. This is what the invaders can count to drop Baghdad. It will be interesting to watch the "almost over" war.
