'Admiral Sir Michael Boyce, Chief of the Defence Staff, briefed an emergency meeting of the war Cabinet at Downing Street, telling it that coalition forces were making "real progress" and, notwithstanding accidents, that the campaign was proceeding "according to plan".'

Is it too soon to start considering Baghdad? If the Iraqis put up a strong resistance, how do our guys capture it without destroying it like Berlin in 1945 or the two battles of Seoul in 1950 and 1951 among others? I know that what I think doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things, but maybe there's some former military people here on FR that couls comment. Thanks ahead of time.

Is there really any reason to capture Baghdad?
