re Marian Kechibar.
D-DAY came to a single demolition team of failing: Omaha Beach (I visited it) is bordered by steep, almost cliff like hills who are difficult to climb for an unemcumbered man and completely unpassable for vehicles. The only exit from the beach is a single 150 yards pass and the Germans had blocked it. If the Americans didn’t manage to blast the barbed wire they would be stranded to die on the beach. Eight demolition teams had been assigned the task. The first seven failed… Also, there was a large port (Cherbourg) conveniently located at the tip of the narrow peninsula of Cotentin so it was “easy” to isolate him by pushing from Utah Beach. I don’t think there is an iranian port who is on a long and narrow cotentin-like peninsula
But you could also have pictured a Tarawa-like operation…

I, know that photo and it means nothing: it is usual between gentlemen to stretch hands even when they have a declaration of war in their pocket… or when they meet to say the other they will give him nothing. Now please show me a single photo of an iraki F16, of an Iraki M60 tank or of an iraki soldier carrying an M16 assault rifle. And look at the cold numbers: the US sales of weapons to Saddam amount to 20, twenty, times less than France’s sales and to more than 30, thirty, times less than either Soviet Union’s or China’s sales. Also I remind you that in the eighties US was stuck between the Iranian rock and the Iraki hard place just like at one point it was stuck between Hitler and Stalin. Are you going to tell that America shouldn’t have aided Soviet Union?
