That is what the weapon inspectors are doing. While Saddam is cooperating there is no logical reason to attack. Send in more inspectors. If the USA would pay its backbill to the UN it would be very affordable. You do not "liberate" a people by killing them.
Many of the American/British "proofs of WMD" have proven fraudulent including the other day the claim that Iraq was shopping for uranium in Africa 2 years ago was declared fraudulent by the UN and independent experts. I hadn't heard of any Iraq troops surrendering but if they are it is because they know they will be killed in an attack as they are poorly armed.

Snippet from story;

Land-war commanders have been devising procedures to make it possible for entire Iraqi units to signal the allies that they prefer to stay out of the fight. Units that indicate they intend to stay on the sidelines will be exempt from air and land attack and may not even be taken prisoner, allied officers say.
