It then assesses the military significance of that environment in terms of: key terrain: strategic areas, selected tactical targets avenues: roads, railroads, waterways obstacles: especially rivers and swamps observation and concealment: on the surface and from above weapons, equipment, and personnel performance: heat, humidity, dust, and water supplies are prominent influences The desert and riverine Iraq, which is bounded by the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, are geographically so different that military forces and operational methods suitable for one region are inapplicable for the other. Routes to Iraq Iraq, a nearly landlocked country more than twice as large as Utah, is remote from the United States. Repeated aerial refueling is required for nonstop flights by tactical combat aircraft and military transports, even when overflights rights allow the shortest routes. Maintenance problems will deplete the airlift fleet after repeated round trips to reinforce and resupply U.S. deployments.

Make of this what you will, but I don't think it casts a happy look on our efforts in Iraq. The Neocon Vision for the Mideast was a safer Israel. Guess they took that seriously. PLAN B by SEYMOUR M. HERSH As June 30th approaches, Israel looks to the Kurds. Issue of 2004-06-28 Posted 2004-06-21 In July, 2003, two months after President Bush declared victory in Iraq, the war, far from winding down, reached a critical point. Israel, which had been among the war’s most enthusiastic supporters, began warning the Administration that the American-led occupation would face a heightened insurgency—a campaign of bombings and assassinations—later that summer. Israeli intelligence assets in Iraq were reporting that the insurgents had the support of Iranian intelligence operatives and other foreign fighters, who were crossing the unprotected border between Iran and Iraq at will. The Israelis urged the United States to seal the nine-hundred-mile-long border, at whatever cost. The border stayed open, however. “The Administration wasn’t ignoring the Israeli intelligence about Iran,” Patrick Clawson, who is the deputy director of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy and has close ties to the White House, explained. “There’s no question that we took no steps last summer to close the border, but our attitude was that it was more useful for Iraqis to have contacts with ordinary Iranians coming across the border, and thousands were coming across every day—for instance, to make pilgrimages.” He added, “The questions we confronted were ‘Is the trade-off worth it? Do we want to isolate the Iraqis?’ Our answer was that as long as the Iranians were not picking up guns and shooting at us, it was worth the price.”
