Yeah, but they have a real army that will fight back effectively,


Unproven assumption, as they haven't fought any kind of war in half a

century.
Before 1991, the Iraqi Republican Guard was supposed to be pretty

damn good,
too, but it didn't quite turn out that way once the shooting started.


Do you just make this stuff up as you go along?

Without air support or anti-aircraft the Iraqi Republican Guard
proved to be ineffective against B-52s, that is true. But
US ground forcces never engaged the Iraqi Republican Guard.

Personally, I think they would have been ineffective. But it
was never put to the test.
