Russia Military See U.S. Iraq Attack in February
(Reuters, January 22, 2003)
The agency's specialist military news wire AVN, quoting an unnamed high-ranking source in the Russian general staff, said U.S.-led operations would be launched once an attacking force of 150,000 had been assembled in the Gulf. . . . "According to the information we have, the operation is planned for the second half of February. The decision to launch it has been taken but not yet been made public," the source told the agency, which has generally authoritative contacts in the Russian military and political establishment. . . . The source added that the main aim of the war would be to secure control of Iraqi oilfields. . . . "The military operation against Iraq will be conducted by a combination of means -- strikes will be from the air, land and sea. The war will be short, lasting about one month," the Russian source was quoted as saying. . . . The source added that the main aim of the operation was not so much to topple Iraqi President Saddam Hussein but to secure U.S. control over Iraqi oilfields. . . . "Hussein is the pretext. The real aim of the military action is control over Iraqi oil," he said.
