I wonder if any intermediate step is possible. Surely we must have some idea of the location of the facilities that we suspect are involved in the chemical/biological/nuclear side of the equation. I wonder if it would be possible to use massive air strikes to degrade or eliminate the defenses at those sites and to prevent reinforcement, and insert ground forces for long enough to penetrate the sites, determine what is going on there, take prisoners for interrogation, and leave. email that to Bush! The downside: We might miss facilities (although producing nukes is complicated enough that it's unlikely they would be able to proceed if anything significant is taken out.) An action like that could ignite the region anyway. AND: A number of our supposed European allies went over the hill on the Iraqi embargo after they kicked out the inspectors. Why assume they would not stab us in the back again?
