Yeah... IF Saddam is still alive. Let's hope he's dead. I'd like to see the paras seize Saddam International Airport to shock the Iraqis into realizing how we can come up right in their face while they're still looking south...

I'd get H3 and perhaps Mosul airport under control and forward deploy at least some aircraft, Apaches and Longbows if nothing else ... surround the city with armor at a prudent distance ... and be prepared to back off if a tactical "special" is called for to put down a bio weapon ...
