To: what i think
I don't think anyone assumed anything. Do you really think the start of this war hinged on Turkey? Heard a special ops' guy on NPR this morning saying that the U.S. military has improved by a factor of TEN since the first Gulf war, and the Iraqi army has regressed by HALF. We are going to be dropping so many bombs on Baghdad and Tikrit in the first 48 hours, there is little doubt in my mind that this war can be one with half of what we have over there now. My guess is that the Iraqi army will turn on the palace within the first 24 hours.

you don't think we moved all those men and equipment to turkey without some sort of assumpsion that we would be able to offload? i too am confident in this war. i'm saying somone made a serious tactical error and must pay.
