This is the key point of Saddam strategy, that
is based on the principle that USA soldiers and
civilians are wimps, and will bail out whenever
the death toll becomes too big. This is also
why I expect that captured soldiers will be
tortured to death and their bodies shown in
tv.iq, in order to raise fear in the enemy.
