On 1 February the sun sets in Bagdad at 1817, Bagdad Time. There will be a new moon when the moon rises.

The first stealth attack will begin between 2217 to 2317 Bagdad Time, on 1 February. Then there will be a massive stealth aerial attack. That will be followed by a massive and highly accurate cruise missile attacked launched from all of our naval resources with bunker busters and other ways to turn the night into redemption time for 9/11.

The will be followed by B1 strikes. Then all hell on earth will start with an incredible massive airstrike from naval Tomcats and Hornets, and everything that the Air Force can fly at them.

Sunrise will be ushered in with massive B52 strikes with the bombs laser directed by spec ops guys with boots in Iraqi dust. Every palace and place where WMD's will be taken out.

When this over, the second wave of Naval and Air Force planes after refueling and reloading of bombs will take off. They will be guided to specific targets by Predators in the sky and specops again.

While this is going on, the Wart Hogs and Apaches will start destroying every tank and 4 wheel drive the Iraqis have. They will be target by a grid on a one mile square with real time pictures from predators and other sources.
The only way any Iraqi assigned to any tank, personnel carrier or 4 wheel drive can survive is simple. They must leave their vehicles and weapons and start walking to the nearest border.

By noon, over 100,000 Iraqi troops will have surrendered using their get of Iraq passes good for safe passage and $10,000 if they tell us where to bomb next. Those passes will be dropped in the early morning when our planes make early morning look like high noon with all the explosions.

Jihad will have come to Iraq and the Islamofascists thugs who have terrorized Iraqi people for decades. Troops will rebel against their brutal leaders and heads of the thugs will be on pikes all over Iraq before the day is over.

The first stealth attack will happen on 1 Feb 2003 between 2217 to 2317.

Grampa,
I agree with a substancial part of your scenario but think the start of the airwar will be on Jan 29 at 11:50 pm Iraq time. I expect to see Bagdad lit up as before and all power plants and C&C taegets taken out immediately after the Iraq air defences are neutralized. There will be more use of precision guided bombs and less of cruise missiles. I don't think we have replinished our inventory enough yet.

As before, the ground war will really start after the air attack has softened up the defenses, maybe 5-8 days later. But Iraqi territory will be invaded and occupied and held right away. The initial areas will be mostly unoccupied areas that will be used for staging and to exclude them from Iraqi use. I would expect the border area with Jordan to be occupied early along with the main crossings with Syria.
