These captains believe badgad and then the regime will implode from the inside

That's interesting. I still expect the regime to implode - just because it hasn't imploded yet, doesn't mean it won't. Remember in 1998, we spent a few weeks bombing Serbia, and the media were crying "it isn't working, it isn't working" - right up until Milosevic folded.

Concentration now should be on killing republican guard formations. Eventually when it becomes clear that the US wont cut and run(somalia) as the regime believes and that the iraqi military cannot inflict enough pain to stop the US, individual ministers, generals, etc will cut deals. The hesitancy perhaps?? to use chem weapons is part of this end game.

The silver lining to having to fight the RG is that we will kill a lot of guys who need killing if we hope to rebuild Iraq on a better model.
