the Iraqi command has learned much from Yugoslav tactics The assumption being that the US has not bothered to learn as well -- unlikely.

Exactly, the difference is that we have 10,000 specials ops in Iraq that are finding the targets and locations for our planes to hit. Where as in Kosovo we did not. It is a whole lot harder to hide from us than it was in Kosovo. Plus our damage assesments as probably coming from direct on the ground special ops reports, a whole lot more reliable than the foriegn military sources.
I'm surprised Stratfor completely ignores this
Of course, that is not to say that our military isn't releasing inflated and overly optimistic numbers to the press, they always do that, so we do have to take certain amount of discount to the numbers they provide, but no way it is 5%, no way.
