                   REPORTS THAT EXPLOSIVE LINE SYSTEMS, FUEL-AIR-EXPLOSIVES, AND
                   -NUCLEAR DELIVERABLE MUNITIONS CANNOT BREACH BURNING7FIRE
                   BECAUSE EXTREME HEAT COULD DETONATE THESE MUNITIONS
                   LY. A TRENCH'S HEAT ENVELOPE COULD EXTEND SEVERAL HUNDRED
                    EITHER SIDE AND UP TO SEVERAL HUNDRED METERS IN ALTITUDE.
                     S COULD RANGE IN EXCESS OF $00 DEGREES CENTIGRADE.
                        SUCH MUNITIONS COULD CAUSE UNIGNITED FIRE TRENCHES TO
                      TI CRUDE IGNITES AT APPROXIMATELY 500 DEGREES CENTIGRADE
          IF NO VAPORS RANGES ARE PRESENT. DEPENDING ON THE LENGTH OF TIME
          IT HAS BEEN IN THE TRENCH, THE VOLATILITY OF THE OIL AND ASSOCIATED
          VAPORS RANGES FROM "GASEOUS BUTANE" TO t'USED CRANKCASE OIL."
          ALSO, THE TRENCHES ARE OF SUFFICIENT LENGTH AND ARRAYED IN SUCH A
          FASHION AS TO PRECLUDE "SNUFFING OUT" THE FLAMES.

                    CONCLUSION.

                     MQ WILL CONTINUE ITS CURRENT DEFENSIVE STRATEGY: AN
                  POSITIONAL GROUND DEFENSE TO ATTRIT U.S. GROUND FORCES
                   WITH POLITICAL AND MILITARY OFFENSIVES TO DESTROY THE
                  IONAL COALITION AND THE U.S. WILL TO FIGHT. TO THE EXTENT
                    RETAINS THE CAPABILITY, THESE OFFENSIVES WILL CONSIST OF
                     SCUD ATTACKS AGAINST ISRAEL AS WELL AS MISSILE AND AIR
                  AGAINST U.S. AND COALITION FORCES. ADDITIONAL IRAQI CROSS-
                 RECONNAISSANCE AND GROUND PROBES ARE PROBABLE.

, COMPRISED PRIMARILY OF
                      ERS, REMAINS LARGELY INTACT.
