Tikrit might be the hardest city of all... which isn't really saying much. If we don't have support from the civilians there (and we might not, because they're Saddam's clan) it could take longer. But we've got time. We have everything else.

Tikrit is easier than Baghdad. I think ABC's Tony Cordesman said the other day its all surrounded by desert apart from the Tigris on its other bank. No real defenses to speak of. Its a strange place for Saddam & sons to make a Last Stand.
