From today's Times:
"US hawks say we'll get to Baghdad within two days
Tony Allen-Mills, Nicholas Rufford and David Cracknell"
AMERICAN military planners are preparing airstrikes on Iraq of such unparalleled intensity that some senior Pentagon officials believe that a ground war could be won in two days.
A surprise combination of ferocious bombardment and a near-simultaneous advance on Baghdad is intended to cause Saddam Hussein's regime to "implode".
The Pentagon's plans for a lightning overland thrust from Kuwait are based on the belief that Saddam expects a prolonged air campaign, followed by a cautious advance.
Are these idiots still around. I thought they became extinct after their smug predictions about the Vietnam War...
Apart from the danger to civilian life such an intense bombing campaign would create, Saadam now knows their 'plan'...
Well it is Sunday...
