Saddam won't be the only one sweating it out in the coming months if
reports on US military logistics are to be
believed. Faced with the real prospect of Saddam's Army having biological and
chemical weapons, the US troops are going to have to fight much of the war wearing their protective
suits. Problem is, the protective suits - designed to combat chemical,
biological and nuclear weapons - are not designed to combat heat. They are
just too hot for the Iraqi
desert any time except in winter. 'Amateurs talk strategy, professionals talk logistics' as the saying goes,
and it will take the US military juggernaut 4 months to gear up for the war.
They can't fight it after February, which means George Dubya has just a few
weeks to make up his mind. Saddam knows this, and thinks that if he can just confuse the United Nations for
another month, things will cool off for another year. Confusing the corrupt and disorganized
rabble of the UN can't be hard, so he thinks he's onto a winner! The heat is on Dubya, though. Maybe he is wishing that he had signed that
Kyoto treaty to avoid global warming after
all.
