| Missions over Iraq increase - has it begun? |
| 2003-03-05 |
| U.S. and coalition warplanes are flying two to three times the number of missions they have been flying over southern Iraq, military sources say. The missions have focused on mobile missile systems being moved into the area, sources said. As many as 750 missions a day are now being flown. Military sources said the change is in response to the Iraqis moving mobile surface-to-surface missiles, mobile surface-to-air missiles, early warning radars and anti-ship missiles into the southern no-fly zone. 750 missions a day? holy moly! |

| #1 Wow--mission increase, abandonment of the Turkey front, shift of psyops paradigm, and, of course, the reports of special forces deployed in Iraq already... I'm thinking it's begun! |
