You know, the apparent lack of ability to immediately exploit the Iraqi airfields has certainly baffled me. Something is not quite what it seems to be, but I haven't figured out what the disconnect is.

Maybe they don't need them for warfare and are setting up future CnC centers for after the conflict.
Total guess, I too have no idea.

I'm guessing the ones they don't grab are either mined real heavy or the Iraqis have arty zeroed in from the hills above the airfield and it's not a good move to take the field.
Give them engineers a couple hours and SHAZAM!! instant airfield.
