I think you guys are forgetting our 144,000 troops scattered across Iraq next door with what would be millions of PO'd Shi'ites both in Baghdad and scattered to the south of there. If you think losing 1 or 2 soldiers a day is acceptable casualties for this war, what happens when they all start targeting our troops? Let's also remember that the oilfield areas of Saudi Arabia are populated primarily by the same Shi'ite Arabs. Can you say $2-300/barrel oil? Can you say $10/gallon gas?
