Your plan won't work. Saddam is playing a game that children play. He is pushing his "bad behaviour" to the limit that he can get away with. When he is threatened with punishment, he backs off. The massive US/UK troop buildup has brought partial cooperation. What do you think happens if those troops go home.

How difficult for NK to get a nuke to him? Then we either have to leave him alone or go for a much bloodier war.

Saddam laughs at UN inspectors. The only thing he respects is military threat. That is the only thing that has ever produced results from Saddam.

This talk of Iraqi resistance and loads of suicide bombers and fighting in urban areas is BS. It will just be one massive surrender after another. If Baghdad proves tricky/risky then just sit outside it. At least you only have the expense of containing a city and not a whole country. Baghdad is pretty much empty now anyway.

That MOAB display was dumb. You have a world of people critical of US war plans so they go and show off a massive bomb that will do exactly what people are concerned about - mass killing. Won't make the slightest difference to Iraqi morale, they don't want to fight anyway. Whether it is a 21,000 pound MOAB or a 15,000 lb Daisy cutter is hardly relevant.
