Colonel Snider sat at the corner of the room with his back to the wall so that no one could read his computer screen. 舠I had the authority and training to know what I could and could not declassify to a foreign military such as Britain. 舡 Five minutes later, a British air operations officer announced that a Tornado, a British jet, was missing. It was flying from Camp New York to Camp New Jersey. McDougal put the pieces together. He had just viewed classified information that indicated the firing of a patriot missile from Camp New Jersey toward Camp New York, the opposite direction of the Tornado.
As visibility became completely clear, we were shocked to see an enemy convoy about four kilometers to our direct front. Lacking our night vision capability, the enemy used very dim headlights to maneuver. Although these headlights were about half as bright as regular automobile headlights, they were very visible from our position. We were astonished. The Iraqi convoy stretched from one end of the horizon to the other. It was just sitting there, not moving. All I could think about was what a great opportunity for an air mission.
I didn舗t hear anything,舡 I exclaimed. 舠I don舗t know how you missed it: it was kind of loud,舡 he chuckled. I was surprised Mejia didn舗t wake me when the Marine air strike destroyed the tanks, but grateful for the peace that came with sleep. I was told later those Iraqi tanks were T-72s, the most modern tanks the Iraqis had. These were former Soviet vehicles weighing at least forty-one tons. Those T-72s would have made short work of us easily if they could have seen us. I was also told the tanks had closed within 1,400 meters of our line; almost well within the range of their main guns.
