U.S. Plan for Iraq Is Said to Include Attack on 3 Sides
By ERIC SCHMITT
WASHINGTON, July 4 — An American military planning document calls for air, land
and sea-based forces to attack Iraq from three directions — the north, south
and west — in a campaign to topple President Saddam Hussein, according to a
person familiar with the document.
The document envisions tens of thousands of marines and soldiers probably
invading from Kuwait. Hundreds of warplanes based in as many as eight
countries, possibly including Turkey and Qatar, would unleash a huge air
assault against thousands of targets, including airfields, roadways and fiber-
optics communications sites.
