- BY EVERY MEASURE OUR CAMPAIGN PLAN IS VERY MUCH ON SCHEDULE


- AIR WAR HAS LIMITED IRAO'S ABILITY TO CONCENTRATE COMBAT POWER

  FOR THE FOLLOWING MISSIONS

  -- RECONNAISSANCE-IN-FORCE
  - - ~NGTACK
  -- COUNTER ATTACK


- NO WAY AM I SUGGESTING THAT THE IRAQI ARMY IS CLOSE TO
  CAPITULATION


- ANOTHER WAY OF LOOKING AT RESULTS TO DATE

  -- ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE IRAQI FORCES
         THEY HAVE BEEN DEFEATED IN THE AIR AND ON THE SEA

         THEY HAVE ABANDONED CENTRALIZED AIR DEFENSE WITHIN IRAQ
         GROUND UNITS HAVE BEEN ABANDONED BY THE AIR FORCE

         CORPS LEVEL UNITS HAVE LOST COMMUNICATIONS WITH
         SUBORDINATE UNITS
         SCUD MISSILES HAVE BEEN FIRED AGAINST INNOCENT CIVILIANS

         WITH LITTLE SUCCESS
