They seem to have not taken into account the lack of air cover for the moving of the Iraqi troops towards Jordan either. It would be hard as hell for them to reach Jordan while getting chewed up. Arafat IS stupid enough to have his forces open up a two front attack against Jordan and Israel and that will reduce the Pali population by at least a third in a manner of days if not hours. I expect Israel to respond to the scuds this time though. They cannot afford to appear weak.

Their scenario also does not take into account the reaction of Eygpt, Saudi Arabia, Syria, and the terrorist elements in Lebanon. Another battle group in the Med or a LA class sub or two there should be enough to make Eygpt stand down should it come to it. Saudi Arabia may not attack Israel directly, but radicals inside the country may attack our troops based there. If the House of Saud are found to be complict in the attacks, they'll go from selling oil to working at a 7-11 rather quickly IMHO. Syria can be kept in check with a build up at the Golan. Russia must lean heavily on Iran not to become involved.
