You can bet that any air suppression campaign will start in late September or early October, the way I'm looking at things. The most important mission early on will be SCUD suppression. This mission will include the entire Israeli Air Force. We will not be about the business of being "politically correct", since the Saudi's have been playing a double game and Bush has had quite enough of them. At the same time, Special Forces will begin commando raids aginst selected targets. Think of it as hit and run guerilla warfare on the model of Stirling's first SAS units in North Africa in 1941. SEALS, SF, the Aussie SF, Force Recon, DELTA, and of course, the granddaddy of them all, the Special Air Service regiment, will be rampaging all over Iraq hitting targets of opportunity and assassinating "uncooperative" Iraqi generals while leaving the more pliant ones alive for postwar reconstruction. This war will be sniper heaven, btw.
Don't be surprised if Uday, for instance, ends up dead or captured.
If there is anything to this pre-Election Assault rumor, than look for October to be the month when infantry starts moving in to accept "cease resistance" leaflets from Iraqi commanders (this avoids the humiliation of surrender) while they move in and annihilate the bitter enders.
Be Seeing You,
