I think you over-estimate Iraq's available forces in the most recent conflict. They had very little in the way of military equipment.

Well, same thing happened in the gulf war 13 years ago. Then Iraq military was on their best capacity ever and they were ready when the alliance attacked them. Still their forces were crushed like house made of paper before tank. Furthermore, everybody knows what happened in Somalia 1993. You know the movie Black hawk down, which (propably not most trustworthy source, though) presents the situation there. About 100 US state of the art soldiers fought their way out of the city against forces whose numbers were far greater.

I believe that any military officer can confirm that sufficiently trained and equipment force is far more effective than any amount of troops alone.
