Death estimates for war: 500,000 Iraqis (mostly military), 1,000-10,000 Americans (depending on degree of resistance).
Substantial urban fighting will be necessary even if 90% of Iraqi troops lay down their weapons. Cities will likely be booby-trapped in vicious ways. Human shields may also be used.

Losing the Turkish entry point makes the war far more risky as massing our troops in Kuwait could make a juicy target. If SCUDS with bio or chem weapons hit amongst our forces it could be disasterous.

Anthrax victims from 10/01 have not recovered despite all the anti-biotics. They are constantly in pain and have developed hostile personalities they cannot control. In other words, all the antidotes we have will not stop our troops from being severely damaged if bio or chem weapons hit them. If we attack Iraq we'd better be fully aware of these dangers.
