Yes, I do think so.
There will be civilians in quite a few of the houses.
To gain control of cities, you need to go through each and every house manually. Booby-trapped houses. Snipers. Land mines.
It is going to be quite the nightmare. Iraqi cities are not small huts built on cow-shit, which I am sure is the image most people have in their heads.
It's very easy to think that the Iraqis are going to be bitches like in 91, when they all gave up easily. Well, different story if you invade their country, occupy their territory and their homes. They are going to fight back HARD, Saddam or not...
Prepare the drafts, because this could be a long one.
