He is in a policy making position, he has to advocate something. "He, like me, rejects that there are just two possibilities--withdrawal or (in effect) nuke 'em. "If we don't keep our supply lines to Kuwait open, our soldiers will run out of supplies and then they will surrender. That's the simplest "third option", but since the President receives advice from people who are not military idiots, I doubt that he would take it.only over the cities that are critical to your supply lines , the result will also be worse than withdrawing or nuking. That strategy will result in the rest of Iraq being angered by the civilian deaths along the supply line, but not being cowed by the use of force against civilians. The result would be a steady increase in hatred for US forces all over Iraq, culminating with their eventually causing us such large casualties that we pull out anyway.
