If the Pentagon sticks to its current war plan, one day in March the Air
Force and Navy will launch between 300 and 400 cruise missiles at
targets in Iraq. […]
On the second day, the plan calls for launching another 300 to 400 […]The battle plan is based on a concept developed at the National Defense
University. It’s called “Shock and Awe” and it focuses on the
psychological destruction of the enemy’s will to fight rather than the
physical destruction of his military forces.“We want them to quit. We want them not to fight,” says Harlan Ullman,
one of the authors of the Shock and Awe concept which relies on large
numbers of precision guided weapons.“So that you have this simultaneous effect, rather like the nuclear
weapons at Hiroshima, not taking days or weeks but in minutes,” says
Ullman.
