War Update: Iraqi Tactics

NPR | By Robert Siegel
Published April 8, 2003 at 11:00 PM EST

NPR's Robert Siegel talks to John Keegan, defense editor for the Daily Telegraph, about how the collapse of Saddam's regime is due to the complete ineptitude of the Iraqi military, which made no use of the country's natural defenses. He says whatever advantages they had were thrown away.
