There are ways to counter the advantages, BUT... you can not do that and preserve civilian homes and lives.

Thats the problem . When GWB starts killing civilians.... where does it end?

Using concusion bombs, flame throwers, and flooding basements and tunnels with water can be quick and very effective.

Russia tried the destroy-way in Grosney (or how do you spell it) and after years, they still are there. Thats not an option for Bush.

To clear a city surgically with minimal loss of troops requires intel (native cooperation) and time to play a patient game cat and mouse.

There is no way to play it with few losses. City war cancels out all technoligy. Big guns and tanks just won't work in cities.

Patient? Thats the problem Bush has. He is in a hurry.... He has to have fast results, few losses and do it before the elections, else he is gone.

Its a loose-loose position GWB is in right now. If he is cornered to much, who know what will happen??? Maybe nuking Bagdad? cuz the war took to long and to many soldiers???
But this is a horror senario that is possible! Dick C. said before (and the neo-conservatives) "We will use "Tactical nuke" when needed". *shudders*
