Summary/Abstract |
In the not too distant past, the world's most powerful military of the US was poised to mount a short duration campaign to punish Syria for allegedly crossing some undefined 'red line' of employing chemical weapons against insurgent forces opposing the regime in power. Reports coming out of Washington indicated that the US President was not only determined to degrade Syria's chemical weapon capabilities but also to take down Bashar Assad's air force, destroy his air bases and knock out his ground-to-ground ballistic missiles using giant B-52 bombers and B-2 stealth bombers. Some of the bombers were planned to fly in directly from the US, others from a base in Qatar.
