That sounds good on paper but probably wouldn't be able to put into practice. Like the first war expect this one to be almost exclusively (at the outset at the very least) an air war - to a some extent with remote controlled planes. Also remember that even during the first war the resistance wasn't exactly overwhelming. Remember that coalition forces lost 240 compared to Iraqs 20,000-35,000 (estimated). We simply didn't give them that much of a chance to shoot back.
