#2 And not before time too. Seems we are preparing to send again a beefed up 7th Armoured (as per Gulf War 1 but with significantly better Challenger 2 MBTs) with some elements of the Air Assault Brigade plus assorted units of the Royal Navy (which is now Tomahawk capable) and Royal Air Force (already bombing Iraq on a pretty much daily basis).

Suggests to me that Franks, like Schwarzkopf before him, will entrust some serious parts of this battle plan to the UK - and we'll again deliver. Any other 'allies' will again be invited to peel potatoes.
