1 BOMBING

A MASSIVE bombardment by air and sea will destroy key Iraqi military and communications centres.

American B-52s and B-2 Stealth bombers, along with British Tornado GR4s and Harrier GR7s, will release a devastating wave of 3,000 missiles in the first two days of the war. The giant assault is dubbed a ‘shock and awe campaign’ because of its effect on enemy troops

Tomahawk Cruise missiles will be fired from US and Royal Navy warships and subs in The Gulf.

The B-2s will fly from Diego Garcia, the joint US-UK air and sea refuelling and support station in the Indian Ocean.

The Tornados and Harriers will fly from Kuwait and Saudi Arabia.

A lot of this is somewhat general but I mainly posted this for the map of the theater of military operations:

It's fairly large so if you are on a dialup it may take a while.

Tomarrow night when the S### hits the fan anybody with access to the song by the gap band "you dropped the bomb on me should blare it loud....

It entered my mind and I posted such a couple of weeks ago. I said this is the only way I could ever forgive the Turks.

Mark for later read.

The Turks are already paying; their stock market is down and their economy is on the rocks. Their US aid package is gone.

I believe that Turkey will invade Iraq from the North in an effort to conquer the Kurds, preventing them from forming a new country.

All day I have been thinking how the lyrics to Nancy Sinatra's only hit, "Those Boots Are Made For Walking", fits perfectly to today's situation. The boots are military boots and it even fits the lefty celebrities, especially the Ditzy Chicks. "You been messin where you shouldn't have been messin" and something along the line of "You are about to get burned".
