Which would be a breach of the Geneva convetion. However I don't think
Saddam cares so he will keep his forces inside the towns which will lead
to a lot of civilans killed. Either by lack of pure water (due to long
time siege) or from cross-fire/bombings or chemical weapons. I just hope
it will be as few as possible although I'm highly pessimistic.
