This reminds me of the battle of Berlin.
Surrender to the Allies and get humanitarian treatment or let the Russians inflict maximum inhumanity.

The choices for the Iraqi military are slim.

Surrender to American forces and live or be slaughtered by the Kurds.

The Kurds should be at the northern outskirts of Baghdad soon.
The choice is obvious and the war will end surprisingly quickly.

One can only imagine 50,000 Kurds in Baghdad with several thousand spec ops from the UK, Australia and the USA.

We will have Baghdad surrounded with most of the Republican Guard fertilizing the desert around Baghdad. So there is no way out for the killer thugs.

We will know who the Bad Guys are in Baghdad. If they get out of their rat holes, they will be killed. If they stay in their rat holes, laser guided bombs will kill them.
