I was responding to this particular speculation:

A WAG would be a thrust south by Turkish forces with American forces behind them to protect the Kurds positions in the area. The Turks would advance on Baghdad while the US forces would move in behind to protect Kurd interests.

Your followup comment does not appear to modify or elaborate on that in such a manner as to alter the points made in my response.

I was carring on with another conversation with someone on messenger at the same time. I am not saying that this is what will happen. I'm just throwing out a scenerio. The emphasis of the failure of the US to be able to launch a northen assault has made me suspicious. I am just putting forth a possible play on that.

For some reason the Turkish thing is being played as a major setback. I think it could be a possible sucker punch. Saddam seems to have considered it.

There are troops in Texas ready to deploy. Their equipment is on ships that have yet to be off loaded. A reserve force move. After hostilities start. Move equipment where needed. Fly the troops there, marry up with their equipment and go for it.
