David Bloom just reported that the Big Dogs are about to dance.

Third ID has a "strategic target". In between them and the "strategic target" is a "formidable Iraqi presence". I'm thinking we may be rushing the Karbala Gap. I'm hoping that we're topped off on fuel.

I get the sense that our armor has halted until supplies catch up. All the embedded reporters seemed to have called in at the same time over the past hour.

Formidable Iraqi Presences make Good Targets for Long Sticks of 500 lb. HE Bombs, sustained artillery, cluster munitions, daisy cutters, and all sorts of good stuff.

I don't know what the topography is there, though. If it's a "gap", then I'm guessing it's either hilly terrain, or swampy.

I'm curious as to what the "strategic target" could be.

Looking at a map one may discern a whole host of options beyond the obvious.

Kind of cool to speculate.
