from the article:
Establish one airbase and supply depot in Kurdistan and another outside Baghdad — 7,000 American military at each base

Numbers are too low ... and air support is virtually useless with these numbers. Minimum 50,000 ground. Minimum 100 Apache. Minimum 10 Radar aircraft. Minimum 100 fighter jets. Minimum 6 refuel aircraft. Then there is the problem of landing sites and supply. 300,000 or more personnel.
