The military still has only a fraction of the 40,000 to 50,000 JDAMs it wants, said analyst John Pike of GlobalSecurity.org."

translation?

We have 450,000 more than we need, and action is imminent!!! Somewhere big....

24 JDAMS per B1 sortie.

Devote 50 B1's to sortie from Diego Garcia, Twice a day (two crews) = 2400 high-altitude 2klb precision guidance weapons a day.

Add another 1500 from B52's.........and another 2000 from tactical aircraft and you could get a real conflagration going real quick.

Around 6000 PRECISE hits per day.......plus the "special" bunker/CCC hits and these folks will fold in less than a week. More than one bomb for every tank and aircraft they have, every day.

We'll have to intervene to keep the Kurds from killin' 'em all.

IF ya'll thought the first Gulf war was spectacular, wait for part deux. There were so few targets in Afganistan we couldn't show off much. But Iraq is a target rich environment and this'll be a real show.

In exchange for airfields, I'd guess the Turks, Hashemites and Persians will get to divide the spoils......just the way things used to be, and rightfully so according to some.
