Stalingrad was never surrounded by the Germans.
It's a horrible analogy for about a billion reasons.

I was referring to the urban house-to-house fighting; the encirclement is Baghdad-specific.

Stalingrad was never surrounded by the Germans. It's a horrible analogy for about a billion reasons.Not the least of which is that at Stalingrad the Russians were able to draw the Germans into the city, while massing large tank and combined arms armies on their flanks. Saddam has no lurking tank armies to come to his rescue.

The Soviet people never fought for love of Stalin, It seems so far the Iraqi people are fighting, is it for Saddam or for their Iraqi nation (you know right or wrong my country nationalist mentality)?

I agree. A more realistic analogy would be the Russian attack on Berlin.
