The United States is prepared to pay a "very high price" in terms of casualties to
capture Baghdad and oust President Saddam Hussein, a US central command
official has said.

"We're prepared to pay a very high price because we are not going to do anything
other than ensure that this regime goes away," the official said, adding that US
casualties in the war had been "fairly" light.

"If that means there will be a lot of casualties, then there will be a lot of
casualties," said the official, who spoke on condition that he not be named.
