That's true. Try wargming this strategy against a hypothetical UK or Israel-like opponent. The mismatch in resources would eventually lead to an end with the same result as in Iraq. True, but with higher losses. The interesting wargame would have put Iraq on the spoiling offensive and attempting to inflict mass casualties with every weapon they had.
Thank God our enemy was a total idiot this time.

Just a bit higher It's smart not to pick a fight with someone who will really hurt you, unless it's life or death. I read somewhere some quotes from some Marines that they could not believe the tactical ineptness of the Iraqis they faced. They said it was like they had no officers, and the ones they did have couldn't do anything right.

"Thank God our enemy was a total idiot this time." Evidenced by naming their top comedian as minister of information.
