Echo of disaster....

Recent news about a theoretical line drawn in the sand by sad'damn echoes my concerns early last week regarding the encircling of Bagdad.

It appears our Military Govt. is thinking along the same lines about s.h. final defense using whatever he has left or has hidden to destroy our troops. That line I believe would be 20 to 25 miles from Bagdad because that is the accurate range of cannon in the 155mm class. That cannon is easily loaded with biological agents etc.

Before we reach that 25 mi. distance from the city, the city should be ringed with Napalm and Hellfire bombs. We should approach upwind of the city coming in fast under the guns with assualt choppers loaded with troops within minutes after the hellfire starts with the armoured divisions racing to close the gap and provide support. There should not be a pause in the ringing of the city with fire and smoke until we have regrouped.

Addendum- Maybe downwind would be better. That way cannon overshooting would not allow "agents" to drift back up to the troops.

Larry, why are you still in your chair smile

I hope SH will for once will have the cleverness NOT to use these things - provided he still has them, and operational.

Yes, my guess is 25 miles wuld be good enough to protect Coalition troops from the nuclear fallout when Dubya decides to nuke Baghdad if SH uses chem/bio weapons on them.
