Bomb them with these?
I say we send another round of leaflets. We tell the Republican Guard, all 30-36,000 that are 30 miles from Baghdad, that this is their LAST CHANCE. If they do not capitulate, they will face utter annihilation.
We should then carpet bag B-1 bomb the entire Republican Guard, while they're in the desert. We need to exterminate them like a ant's nest that is in our house. And if they scurry back to Baghdad we need to keep bombing every one of them, until the whole nest is dead. If we allow any of them to live, we will end up having to fight them in door to door fighting at Baghdad.
If we take this tactic, we risk the hatred of everyone against us, but it will have the same type of effect as the nuclear bomb on Nagasaki and Hiroshima. Those left in Baghdad will think twice about continuing to confront us. Many more will surrender.
Then I think we should continue surgical strikes and cut off Baghdad from the rest of the country. Keep a noose around their neck and close in litttle by little until they choke or give up. Time is on our side in this kind of waiting game. If that fails, we will at least have weakened them considerably, and then we go in.
I'm sorry to have to use such stark terms, but I think we are to the point of no return in this war. Today, our Apaches turned back, due to heavy artillery fire and were unable to make any significant gains. We must do what must be done, for the greater good of all.

I'll go you one better. Screw the leaflets and go straight to the bombing. There are too many of them to be POWs and anyway they will not give up, at least not in large numbers.

Now we have the Medina Division mapped out and as we speak I suspect the B-52's, the A10's and the Air Force sharpshooters are kicking the crap out of them.
