Iraq was no banana republic. Saddam had a huge standing army and a substantial, if dated, supply of armaments. His commanders were experienced veterans of the war against Iran, ... Most military analysts considered the Iraqi military forces to be formidable, especially so since they would be defending their homeland. ...The battle he describes consisted of four Americans and their Iraqi allies [40 Kurds] against perhaps 20,000 of Saddam's troops. And the Americans and Kurds prevailed.
