I remember how much of a foe the Republican Guard was supposed to be. Their Armies are nothing compared to ours. And don't even start to compare the Air Forces and Navies.
I haven't heard talk like this since the Vietnam war.
I don't get why you keep saying that the Iraqi army defeated Iran. That was at best a stalemate, and Iraq gave up its claim over the disputed areas of Shatt al Arab. Even though Iraq was better armed and had US backing.
Too much "same-same" again.
Did the Iraqis have no reason to fight once the US took Baghdad?
