Number of bridges brought down in Gulf War II is, I think, zero. At least I haven't heard of any bridges that were so damaged that at least light vehicles couldn't use them. WE didn't try to drop them and Saddam wasn't competent enough to drop them. Now let's remember Kosovo. Number of bridges still standing after Clinton's UN unauthorized war, zero. He took them all out. The comparison is much the same for electrical grid and rest of the infrastructure. I never did learn how long it took to clear the Danube enough to restore river navigation, much less how long it took to rebuild all those bridges. Iraq will be easy to fix by comparison.
