I think that when this is finally and officially over, your analogy of "boiling the frog" will be correct.

Except Saddam knows that his Frogs are being boiled, removed and surrendering. He is afraid to say anything as that would cause mass panic among his loyal troops.

A few weekends ago my wife and I heard about the 500+ sorties per day. Then, we found out that the day of the report there were 800 sorties. (about what we averaged in DSI after the first few days)

This war started in earnest in February this year if not in January.

Boiling the Frog is a perfect word picture.
