The discussion centers on predictions regarding the timeline for the coalition's capture of Baghdad and the effectiveness of the Republican Guard. Initial estimates suggested a quick victory, with some participants believing Baghdad could fall within weeks due to the coalition's rapid advances and minimal resistance. However, there are concerns about the potential for fierce fighting as coalition forces approach the city, with some speculating that Iraqi forces may have retreated or are demoralized. The impact of environmental factors, such as heat and sandstorms, on troop effectiveness is also debated, alongside the possibility of Saddam Hussein using weapons of mass destruction. Overall, while optimism exists about a swift victory, uncertainties remain about the challenges ahead in securing Baghdad.

Zargawee, it didn't take very long for Baghdad to collapse, did it? The war was an easy one and Saddam's army was pretty feeble. And Saddam does not seem to be loved by the people there.
