They interviewed some buyers on NPR the other day. As GePap says, many seem quite concerned that the city will fall into anarchy rather than any fear of advancing US troops.

I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891 -
GEPaP, could well be, however we're for the moment talking about the defense of Bagdat against the US/UK invasion.Comment

Ah, the only way to conquer the city is by surprise tactics.
1. Gass the city with anasthetic and hallucinatic agents.
2. Land 3,000 airborne spec-ops with night vision and gas masks.
3. Take out most opposition.
4. Enter the city with 50,000 troops.Comment

I'm guessing that Seals are operating in the city already.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter.

People can just wear masks for the gasses in that science fiction scenario.
DanS, they can well operate within it, the question is how are they planning to capture it?
See my options above. What do you think?Comment

No, danny. Bagdad is far from the sea. There's no seals there.
Unless of cource there's such a thing as mesopotamian river seals

I think we will se a repeat of Basar on a more massive scale. Come up to the city, figure out which Iraqi units will give up, wait till they give up, then attack those units that have not. We will end up sending forces into Baghdad eventually. But it won't be like Grozny.If you don't like reality, change it! me

It looks to me like this should be approached like any other coup. The biggest goals would then be taking over the TV, radio, and government buildings.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter.
