<We'll be using 80-90% precision guided munitions, and civilian and US military casualities will be minimized. >

After you take out the obvious military infrastructure, and his troops withdraw into the cities among the civilian population, what good are precision guided bombs? The military would most likely move from house to house. Too risky to bomb.

<There will be a few civilian casualties & a few American military casualties. But all in all, a very worthwhile undertaking. >

That is quite a bold statement. I think maybe the American public (and maybe even military) have become complacent since the Gulf War, forgetting some of the hard learned lessons of the past.

I agree that I believe Saddam will cave. Bush Jr. does not want the economic fallout right now either. Not to mention midterm elections.
