Not entirely true. I can think of three good examples where being in the defensive helped more than if they had been on the attack:

Mosow, winter of 1941

Stalingrad, 1942

Kursk, 1943

Of course the Soviets went over to the offensive after they had attrited the Germans and their allies.

Assuming that a pre-emptive strike is already set, my targets would be C3, supply lines, etc etc.  They aren't kicking off if they don't have comms and fuel/ammo to go with'em.  Or if they do kickoff they aren't goin very far before the supply leash hauls'em in.

Also If I failed to take something into consideration please point that out.


Maybe one, before you attack you need to have an objective.  That in itself may very well determine if, when and where you attack and with what weapon.

Really?

I watch about 1 hour of TV a week.  Usually with my son or daughter so it is most likely a cartoon or some other kids show.

The reason I came up with that is because the last time he tried to fight out in the open and got creamed by the US bombing campaign. Seems logical that he would avoid being caught out this time at all costs.

Maybe I should rent my services out to CNN as an Iraqi expert? hehe.

I could also be a France expert as well I suppose.
