#1 How to make a country disappear... I wonder how tough Tikrit is? It'd be nice to snap it up very early on, though that's the one place I'd expect house to house or Paleo style resistance after the occupation.

#2 We ought to simply annihilate Tikrit - I doubt there's anybody in the entire town we couldn't do without, and lots we'd consider "better dead".

#3 Good chance too that Saddam has harbored WMD's in Tikrit as it's one of his only loyal areas - they're like a giant mob family there

#4 Has anyone thought that Saddam has WMD installations tunneled under Baghdad itself? If Scuds are launched from the city itself, Baghdad will have to either be occupied or destroyed.
