Re: You might not want to overstate the case
Siege while food runs out is unacceptable these days. Saddam would let the people starve in front of CNN's cameras while he ate well.
No, the best idea is go in and take the oil wells in the desert outskirts. Pump out the oil for the US of A. No money for Saddam. Let food only into the cities. Eventually, someone will tell us where HE is and we send in special ops to go git him or cruise missile him. End of game.
