What Ullman, Powell and other Bushites see now is their vision for high-tech war, “rapid dominance,” or “shock and awe” , the ability to impose complete and total destruction." When it came to Iraq, Ullman liked the idea of cruise missiles -- lots of them, right away. CBS News reported that Ullman’s ideas are the basis for the Pentagon’s war plan. The U.S. will smash Baghdad with up to 800 cruise missiles in the first two days of the war. That’s about one every four minutes, day and night, for 48 hours.
“The missiles will hit far more than just military targets. They will destroy everything that makes life in Baghdad livable. "We want them to quit. We want them not to fight," Ullman told CBS reporter David Martin. So “you take the city down. You get rid of their power, water. In 2,3,4,5 days they are physically, emotionally and psychologically exhausted."
