I don't think Bagdad is going to fall that easily. I can perfectly see the Irakis cutting the supplies lines and blitzkrieging 2 or 3 american divisions and forcing them to surrender.
They just need one those sand storms.
I mean, with those brainless generals ordering choppers to take on fixed positions I wouldn't be surprised if they allow their troops to be encircled and overran.

The scary thing about the whole thing is that there are 5M citizens in bagdad. If even a small % decide to fight then the american forces will be severely outnumbered. I was listening today how Rumsfeld wanted to send in only 50k troops and the military wanted a lot more than they did send. It makes you wonder what they were thinking.
