Iraq fell in about 100 hours when the target was the nation (and they were defended by a large professional military. It only bogged down when the mission changed to nation building. Had we decided to destroy their national capabilities and then leave or had we decided to lay waste and exterminate everyone, it would have been over quickly.

No. Jyrdis did...I answered him.

I recognize our population is far more capable than the Iraqi population.

That said, it does show that without airpower even a decently capable ground force is just a bunch of targets to a modern military force.
