Why bomb remnants of a military that have to cross a few hundred miles of open desert to do any damage to your forces? The goal in a war with Iran shouldnt be military occupation or complete destruction of enemy military forces. Wipe out their infastructure, and ability to move troops (tanks, airports, APCs, bases). Scraps of infantry can be left.


What you would have to worry about is small bands of insurgents going to Iraq (which they already are, but a war with Iran would increase the number alot). Like I said, you dont need to kill soldiers cowering inside a city. If you really wanted to get gritty, I would also suggest electronic warfare. E-Bombs wiping out their electronics would be particularly nasty but Im more talking of Hackers removing assests in theer virtual world, destroying their stocks, erasing their economy, then dropping food for the civilians.

If Iraqi oil production ever got to the point where it could hold the value of the oil barrel then an attack on Iran would be achievable really. It would boost the Iraqi economy to new hights as america bought all its oil through Iraq, and crash the Iran economy with UN sanctions and blocaides.

The problem with the US invading a country (on a strategic level) is not that we don't have the manpower to invade and conquer...we don't have the manpower to occupy.
