They'll be congratulating themselves about driving off helicopters ... until the A-10s show up and give them a primer on depleted uranium 30mm ammunition. We can deliver whatever level of force is needed to destroy whatever level of resistence is encountered, and IMO once the Iraqis realize this they will be less prone to directly confront the troops.
