Considering the speed at which this war could happen, it could be mind boggling to consider.

Scenario: UN finally votes unanamously for military action. That afternoon, President Bush addresses the nation. The President begins with an announcement that hostilities have begun as of an hour prior to the address. The President is interrupted in the middle of the address with call from Gen. Tommy Franks, "Mr. President, Baghdad is secure...."

Oh well, not likely, but I have to believe that we have special forces troops on the ground there now. We may have even begun to "cheat" on the border and moved in somewhat.

The main aim by our military is to move so quickly and so forcefully that they will not have a chance to use WMD's.

If those bunkers CP showed us yesterday are real, and I don't doubt they are, if we bomb them we can't approach till cleared ,dust settles, whatever...If we move on the ground they shoot them at us, we wait again...in either case maltiply this by 100? 200? and we have a true dessert (120 degreees) war. I don't like it.
