US Plans Small Invasion Force to Take Saddam Out

>From DEBKA-Net-Weekly 67, July 5

29 July:  Our military sources describe the present
plan as being for a US-UK force of up to 75,000 troops
attacking in three synchronous bridgeheads.  
Force One
This first contingent, also the smallest - no more
than 30,000 to 40,000 troops - will attack from the
north, setting out from US installations in southern
Turkey, mainly the large air base at Incirlik. They
will link up with US special forces already present in
northern Iraq, US commando-trained Kurdish forces,
Turkish special forces positionednear Mosul and Kirkuk
and Turkish-trained Turkomans
Its primary mission will be to “cleanse” the
Syrian-Iraqi Western desert on the frontier with Syria
of Iraqi missiles, especially the ones capable of
carrying chemical and biological warheads. Its second
objective will be to seize all of northern Iraq and
drive out Iraqi forces, before going on to capture the
oil towns of Kirkuk and Mosul.  
Force Two
This one will drive across from Jordan. Ferried in by
airplane or helicopter, or parachuted in, the task of
Force Two will be to seize three or four main air
bases in western and central Iraq, after they have
been thoroughly pounded in a US air-cruise missile
blitz. The captured bases will be converted for the
use of American bomber and fighter squadrons, some
diverted from the Persian Gulf and Red Sea. This
action comes under the overall plan for the US
military to operate from inside Iraq - unlike the
doctrine followed in Afghanistan, where the US army
operated from outside bases. Engineering units will
prepare Iraqi installations such as H-3, H-4 and the
massive al-Baghdadi air base for the influx of US
warplanes and troops.
Force Three 
This force will push into Iraq in two waves, the
first, comprised mostly of US special forces, from
bases in Eritrea, Jordan and the Sinai and from US
navy ships, will fan out across central Iraq,
including Baghdad; its paramount mission being to
strike and seize the headquarters and habitations of
Saddam Hussein, his family and close associates, as
well as the country’s hidden depots of missiles and
chemical and biological weapons systems. 
The second wave, having captured and occupied bases
inside Iraq, will advance from there to take on the
heaviest and most dangerous combat assignment:
destroying the Iraqi leadership and its military power
base. Washington’s military planners calculate that
Saddam, rather than throw in the sponge, will throw
his entire arsenal, including nuclear, biological and
chemical weapons, against this force, an escalation
that could bring forth an American nuclear response to
take him out.
