You assume we need to go into the cities....I don't. You do not give any consideration to the efforts our military uses to avoid civilian casualties......I do. You do not give enough consideration to the technology employed, e.g. guided munitions....I do... You do not give enough consideration to the efficacy of the battlefield prep. which is underway...I do..... You're speculation relative to large numbers of civilian casualties is just that...speculation.... You assume modern weapons cannot defeat hiding riflemen. I don't. You assume those riflemen will fight after having seen their brethren torn apart by US firepower all the way to Baghdad. I don't. You assume that the US will not use whatever weapons are necessary to win the war. I don't.
