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.

I admit to not being a military planner. However, it does appear that anything we do militarily will be accompanied by techniques employed from within to destablize Saddam's regime. And I expect we'll commit "overwhelming force" even though we won't likely need it, so as to avoid another "Black Hawk Down"-like disaster.

I have great confidence in our military under the current leadership.

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

Mr. Bush doesn't care about midterm elections nor the polls. He is about making this world a safe place to live.
