Yes, it is.

Overwhelming force, complete destruction of the enemy's capacity to wage war, total victory, unconditional surrender, military government, gradual return of power to the defeated (and now reformed) enemy under a representative form of government based on the principles of liberal democracy. Oh, and severe punishment of neighbors -- e.g., Syria, Iran -- for interfering.

It worked well in WWII, and would work in Iraq. We're using the Korean War & Vietnam War models, both failures. Time to use a successful strategy.
