Out-Frickin-Standing analysis.

My only quarrel with you is that I might send either the 4thID, or the Big Red One, in from the NORTH. Put the 2nd in the South as a relief to the 3rd, et. al.

We had that option. The Turks took it away from us under pressure from the French and the Germans.

As it is, we have to send everything in through Kuwait. This will take time, but will add immeasurably to our combat power since will will be operating on one front, instead of dividing our forces.

Yes, we were trying to duplicate Chancellorsville. But diplomatic reasons forbade that attempt. So what we're using in the north and in the west has to be flown in (well, perhaps not so much in the west-I believe some Marines have driven in secretly overland from Jordan to the H-3 Airbase: I believe that a lot of stuff is being thrown into that base, and that something big is happening out there).

Be Seeing You,

Chris
