This piece shows the many problems for "coalition" forces. It seems that the US erred in believing that there would be large scale surrender. It seems that the leadership and much of the Iraqi army will have to ousted and/or destroyed.
With "irregular" Iraqi troops mixing in with civilians there will have to be increased fighting and bombing of civilian areas. Therefore more casualties. Bad TV images.
