"American personnel being sniped at and ambushed on a daily basis in a long occupation"

It will be seen as a liberation by the locals rather than an occupation. This is not Afghanistan where there are hordes of fundamentalists and people have lived in caves and fought all comers. Iraqis have lived in fear of the leadership and have been under this "occupation" for decades.

US has the opportunity to come out of this smelling of roses so long as they don't unnecessarily kill loads of civilians and conscripts that wouldn't put up a fight anyway. Hopefully the Saddam-hating boys and men of the Republican Guard won't get carpet bombed this time.
