WHAT YOU SEE IS ONLY WHAT YOU SEE
Description of Iraqi Defense Around Airport
The Arab News describes an "impregnable" defensive alignment around the Baghdad airport: slit trenches, tunnels, etc. etc. and surmised that there was no way to beat this defense easily. Anybody who has read casual tactics knows that you merely flank fixed defenses and attack from the rear and from the air. Trenches went out of style with the development of tactical weapons that can "pinpoint" a target and wipe it out from great distance without risk to the attacker. That "defense" proves that the Iraqis have no functioning leadership and that Saddam is probably dead.

It also proves that Arab News reporting is on life support.
