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.
