Comparing the morale and will of Serbian fighters to those of Iraqi soldiers is a key missed point. Does anyone think the Iraqi Army is dedicated to that killer Saddam? The Iraqi Army has to be double-strengthed to field a fighting unit - one half to hold a gun to the heads of the other half to force them to fight. Gen. Clark kissed Clinton's butt and is now as irrelevant as Al Gore.

Another significant difference is that airpower is always less effective against dug-in forces, regardless of camoflage. The Iraqis will presumably have to maneuver their forces to counter a US ground attack, and this will expose their forces to the destructive effects of airpower (ie. Khafji & "the Highway of Death"). It's called combined arms.
