And here's how they intend to start it...from the Dawn US bombers to start war with onslaught on Saddam palace : Feb 2: British and American forces planning war against Iraq have revealed details of their plans to topple Saddam Hussein, which will start with a devastating bombing campaign ahead of a massive ground attack by thousands of troops from Kuwait. Defence and intelligence officials have told The Observer that they have drawn up a list of targets, including Saddam's home town of Tikrit, as well as key Ministries and properties owned by members of Saddam's family and senior Iraqi officials. 'The war will start with an extremely large bang,' said the official. 'You can expect Saddam's base of Tikrit to get a clobbering.' As part of the air campaign, these sites will be destroyed as well as other targets such as formations of Saddam's Republican Guard, Special Republican Guard and police and intelligence services. The plans for war come as Hans Blix, head of the Unmovic weapons inspections team, is set to return to Iraq for talks. The raids will take place immediately before attacks on two fronts - a large armoured attack from within Kuwait and an airborne assault to secure Iraq's oilfields. This is designed, sources confirmed, to prevent a repetition of oil wells being fired as they were in the last Gulf War. The real fight - if there is to be one - would be with the Republican Guard at the gates of Baghdad. Intelligence suggests that the guard will not fight for long - but possible resistance is still a significant threat that will require both M1A2 and British Challenger 2 tanks to counter it. Disclosure of the war planning reflects both US and UK confidence that they will have overwhelming supremacy on the battlefield even with the threat that Iraq might try and use chemical and biological weapons.
