I now don't think that the "shock and awe" thing is going to happen at all and in fact, I think the "shock and awe" concept is a brilliant move by the U.S. military. Here is what I mean: By creating the expectation that there will be this "huge bombing campaign", the U.S. military will come out of this war smelling like a rose.

All those anti-war folk who were screaming about the destruction of poor little Iraq are going to find not only the country still intact, but the people of Iraq thankful for their liberation when all is said and done.

Cyops all over the place. Rummy and Bush have created the mother of all MIND GAMES for the IRAQIs.

I hope they have it all on tape for historical review.

Sounds about right. If you don't need to waste your ammo then don't, there's always more enemies to use it on.

I sure hope the morons of America wake up and quit voting for those idiots

That is an interesting concept. Should the GOP develop a "moron strategy" to attempt to get a portion of the moron vote which is now entirely Democratic. Just getting 10 percent of the moron vote would mean we would control government for years.

He wasn't on live.

Sorry about that, I'm in one room with the puter and the tv is in the other turned up loud, so I only heard him, no visual.

Yes, big time mind games. Earlier heard a retired military man calling the plan brilliant.

I agree.... speaking from my limited knowledge of the situation. It makes great sense to utilize the mindgames against the unrepentant Saddam trolls, since that's what they have made themselves susceptible to by submitting to a tyrant.

Fred Francis reporting the US does not want the Turks entering into Iraq from the North and could be a big problem.

Solid & perceptive analysis, and I'm confident you'd agree we're certainly capable of S&A if the need arises.

Also, for "world opinion", we don't want to look like we are throwing all of our advanced weaponry against their spears and puddles of burning oil.
