10-4 on ready to roll.
I thought this was interesting from the CNN piece:
This time frame would give U.S. assembly lines more time to replenish the military stocks of highly accurate J-DAM 2,000-pound bombs that have been effective in the war in Afghanistan.
No doubt J-DAM bombs are in full production, but the inventory is already substantial IMO. The Iraq "situation" was antcipated in the earliest stages of the Afghan attack.

Iraq has had 10 years to dig deep
But most of their decent equipment was destroyed back in 91 and what was left probably hasn't been maintained worth a dam
In addition no decent training of the troops has occured
His biggest threat is the SCUDS

With each war our precision increases. On D-Day, very few of our artillery shells and bombs scored direct hits on German targets. In the coming war, upwards of 90% accuracy can be expected.
