« Military's Information War Is Vast and Often Secretive |

Even while Iraqi resistance continues to stiffen as the US and British forces push their way through the outer defences to the east near Al Kut, the main central advance around Karbala and a significant advance towards Habbaniya from Jordan, the true strategic target of the Allies is becoming clearer; the Islamic Republic of Iran. The likely future military dispositions inside an occupied Iraq will undoubtedly threaten Syria, but will primarily be designed to provide a significantly launch pad for the future War on Iran. They will also importantly complete the ring of steel now being created around the Tehran regime. The military facilities and major airbases being built in the former Soviet Central Asian Republics and in Afghanistan to the north of Iran; and those already in place in Oman, Qatar, Bahrain and Kuwait to the south will be significantly strengthened by the presence of additional major airfields and of large ground forces to the west in Iraq with its long border made up largely of good terrain for highly mobile mechanized warfare.
