...Like, he saying OK take these out too.... Why????

I don't know. A recent post said Stratfor.com said Iraq must move it's troops before the war starts because we own the sky so they can't move troops after the war starts. This may be their last troop movements. Moving south makes sense, engage the enemy. I don't know why they're moving west, unless they think we're going to do another left hook.

Maybe we sold them the left hook this time and we're really going to do an amphibious assault.

That is interesting.   Was it a FR thread that had the Stratfor article?

"I don't know why they're moving west, unless they think we're going to do another left hook."

I seem to recall seeing somewhere that there are upwards of 30,000 troops along the eastern border of Saudi Arabia.

Maybe they're just using some French tatics.

Something like the "Marginal Line".

They all stand in the trench and surrender at once...

Looking at a map of Iraq, even if we did a "left hook", a westward deployment of troops would be a foolish defense against the US. The original hook, as well as virtually all of the oil and political/military targets in Saudi Arabia, are southeast of Baghdad.
