Sorry, but 130 degree temps for several months would be highly dehabilitating to forces attempting to stage. Bush is cutting it closer than I would like, but Turkey kinda screwed us, so it's taking a bit of time to adjust.
I've about had enough on this thread. You folks can rip into Bush for taking ONE ENTIRE MONTH longer than his pappy did to stage forces in Kuwait. I think I'll see if I can find something more productive to do, such as arrange the shirts in my closet in some kind of chromatic sequence.
Thanks for the conversation. We'll just have to see what happens over the weeks to come. 130 degree temps are even more debilitating to warfighting than to staging. I don't think we're going anywhere yet, and the next excuse will be the heat.
