His problem is that he is over-cautious about committing US troops, and 
underestimating concerning the nuclear threat should we not.  The 
problem is, if he is wrong, the result is catastrophic.  The cost benefit 
analysis (probable human cost of conventionally toppling Saddam vs. 
likelihood that if left in power, nuclear attack or blackmail by Saddam 
would result X human cost of that devastating consequence) is clearly 
in favor of pre-emptive regime change in Iraq as by far the more 
prudent course to pursue.
