Excellent post, Destro. I'll let others question your motives and draw inferences which you clearly did not imply. I believe your supposition regards possible Iraqi intentions, and not Iraqi capabilities. This is a very interesting article.

Rest assured that colonels and generals (ours and theirs) study military history -- and though weapons, ranges, speeds and communications have changed greatly over time, the basic principles of war have not. It is vitally important to know what your enemy intends, and you can gain solid clues to his plans from the history which inspires him. Thanks...

I'll second that. I'm not sure about the analogy but it is interesting.
