[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] You didn't mention an extended pre-ground-troops air bombing, which would almost certainly come from carrier groups in the Med, Red Sea, and Gulf (assuming we aren't granted the use of bases in any of the countries you mentioned), would be essentially unopposable by the Iraqis, and is much of what allowed the first war to be won in as short a time as it was. If they concentrate their defense, we just drop more bombs closer to each other and blow them up more. Or use a multipronged attack. I think if we could capture or create a staging ground airfield somewhere inside Iraq (perhaps just north of Saudi Arabia - in a lonely part of the desert where it wouldn't be too hard to hold), we could land tanks there. Of course, then the problem becomes getting water in. I don't know how we did that for our field troops last time... maybe need to find an oasis or artesian well. And if Hussein uses any chems or bios, we vaporize him. [/QB][/QUOTE]
