The Iraqi army is in full retreat. Saddam has announced that he is ordering it out of Kuwait. " To the south, allied forces continued to consolidate positions around Kuwait City, amid numerous reports from U.S. soldiers and Kuwaiti citizens that nearly all of the Iraqi troops already have pulled out. But the US and Britain are still fighting a war against Iraq. Prisoners are growing rapidly. U.S. casualties are minor; however, we still have not faced the elite Iraqi Republican Guard. The U.S. is intent on putting an end to Saddam as both a military threat and an Arab hero without making him a martyr through U.S overkill. U.S. officials are prepared to cope with a hostile Saddam after the liberation of Kuwait but are hopeful that forces within Iraq will topple him within weeks or months.
