Taking this as fact it will only delay the ineviable. Saddam will fall unless is able to use the delay and Arab public opinion to somehow stop the war. If he succeeds in that he will win just as he believes he won the Gulf War.
Us tactics are now very clear. Hold, consolidate, resupply, add troops and degrade the Irfaqi military from the air. I expect the actual assaut on Bagdad in about 7-10 days after the 4th infantry and additonal forces are inplace in the north.
Onced the assult begins Saddam will either capitulate (I doubt it) or unleash his dogs of war. Iraq has committed very little of it's military yet. The longer this continues the less military he has to commit.
