...bomb the Iraqis to kingdom come? The U.S., in fact, does have potent weapons that have not yet been unsheathed. "We have a toolbox that's full of lots of tools, and I brought them all to the party," General Colin Powell said last week. Field commander H. Norman Schwarzkopf bragged, "We could end the war in two days, but we don't want to destroy Iraq...
...Probably Saddam is banking on absorbing our air offensive and our ground ; offensive, but inflicting maximum casualties on U.S. forces," says General H. Norman Schwarzkopf, commander of the allied forces in the gulf. "Having done that, if the situation is promising, he would launch a counteroffensive.

And, in this regard, it may be worth quoting from a letter written by Lowell to another very popular American President, Franklin Roosevelt, waging...
