They have never denied that there would not be casualties. They are fighting to have as few as possible. Full blown attack mode at the beginning would have resulted in many more. That said, IMO, I do believe something very big will happen very soon because they are making the final adjustments to have everything in place and are just waiting for the Go signal. Much like hunting. You don't shoot your gun until your target is in sight even if you've been sitting a couple of hours. If you were to start chasing it, off it goes.
