"perhaps we should have used 2000 Special Ops troops"

If we took that route, the global outcry would have been
even louder than the misplaced, deceitful, distorted &
unfounded allegations we have seen with this just war. And
many of those expressing opposition would have had
compelling arguments against such a surgical strike.

Perhaps it would have worked, but I doubt it. We would have
had to kill them all in a very tight time frame or word
would have spread quickly. Our intelligence is not capable
if identifying all leadership & their precise location at
any given time, let alone for a lightning strike throughout
Iraq.

I don't know where you got your 80,000 Iraqi soldiers
killed either. I'm sure it's much higher than the several
thousand reported in the media, but right now 80,000 may be
wrong by a magnitude of 2 or 3. In any event, the actual
number would have been much lower if Saddam & his henchmen
didn't force unwilling participants to fight under threats
of death to them & their families.
