The cooler weather wait in the dessert mantra is well overated. Our mechanized units and troops move at night were we rule and the temperture is moderate. Our air units move day and night...
Although cooler weather is desirable, we are ready to fight at any time......and better equipped for it than the Iraqis...

Don't be too quick to dismiss the desert heat as a factor in military operations.

For instance, low altitude combat flight operations are MUCH more dangerous in desert heat because of thermal updrafts.

You are so right.

This cool weather hang up is over blown.

The enemy fights under the same weather conditions.

Also, the threat of gas or bio weapons is exaggerated.

American forces will pounce on the enemy so fast that if they were to launch a WMD response, the results would kill only the enemy and the civilians.
