#1 Ah, it's a "secret".
I'd make sure AFP reporter Marc Bastian is right out in front of the boys so he gets a big scoop.

#2 "The problem is that when we apply pressure they flee to Iran," Karkhi said.

Drop the 101st between Diyala and Iran, then play an old Kentucky game called Hounds to the Hunter.

#3 Good idea except the 101 doesn't drop anymore, they are helicopter assault which would work very well. Seems like we use to do this in the RVN with good results.

#5 Ted Striker: My orders came through. My squadron ships out tomorrow. We're bombing the storage depots at Daiquiri at 1800 hours. We're coming in from the north, below their radar.

Elaine Dickinson: When will you be back?

Ted Striker: I can't tell you that. It's classified.

#6 Are we sure that we are not preparing to make it difficult for them to go to Iran. It sas we are just watching. Maybe we are watching and waiting like bigjim wants. Thus the early warning.
