I really don't think that the military risks are going to be that horrible. The US has increased the accuracy and effectiveness of air bombardment by several orders of magnitude since the Gulf war. A lengthy bombing campaign was very effective then and it will be doubly or triply so in the near future. Because of advances in accuracy, the damage to the civilian population is going to be minimized significantly. Serious damage to Saddam's military machine without huge corresponding civilian casualties will cause a lot of internal problems for Saddam. He will no longer be seen as invincible. I don't think he's crazy enough to use WMDs on US troops, but you never know.
