"He said military capabilities of the army's missile units are so high that they can defend each and every part of the country."
A pretty bold statement.
Reminds me of another.
"This will be the mother of all battles."
These cro-magnon yay-hoos sure do like to brag.
One carrier battle group could take out the whole army in about two hours if ordered to do so.
Zolfaqar is the name of Mohammed's sword.
"Blow of Zolfaqar - Sword of Imam Ali"
The Fart News Agency is not credible.
I wonder how that is pronounced?
One phrase: Neutron bomb...
Have a nice day Mr. Brigadier General.

"One carrier battle group could take out the whole army in about two hours if ordered to do so."
You would think, but does Bush have the guts to fight this war in such a way the we kick the crap out of our enemy or does he keep playing around?
Quite the qualifier, huh? Now, let's describe the definition of 'region'.
"I wonder how that is pronounced?"
PAGING JENNA JAMISON............
That continuous, around the clock bombing by B-1, B-2, B-52 and cruise. They were vulnerable to even the Iraqui efforts. They will pay the ultimate price.
