| #5 BTW the American 'pull' system collapsed in Desert Shield and we reverted to 'push'. However, with the massive amount of log, it was overkill. Stuff was piled high at the Saudi airheads. |

| #2 From a purely civilian perspective (mine), the Russian military performance over the last ten days looks like the Three Stooges trying to get out of a telephone booth. Or an elevator. |

| #1 ...Many years ago, I had the opportunity to be briefed on the Murmansk Incident. Something we learned then - and I wish there was some other way to phrase this - is that the Russians knew what certain processes and systems were supposed to look like, but in many cases little or no idea how to make them work the way they were supposed to. We had to assume that all else being equal, their logistics would work every bit as well as ours, which are the gold standard. It's clear now that even with every single advantage on their side, all they know is the hammer. And if the hammer breaks, they have no idea how to get a new one. Mike |
