can still air lift a lot of stuff in.  Can only air lift the tanks 1 or 2 at a time tho, but that's not a big problem with close air support flying out of Incirlik Air Base.  Be interesting to see if there's any jubilant greeting of the coalition troops in Tikrit, Saddam's home town and clan-base.

It would still be useful, have stuff already up there that we can use in Northern Iraq.  Just one more thing for the Butcher to worry about.
