OT, but <<similar to Stalingrad in 1942>> How come?
I thought that Germany was weak and hopelessly overextended enough so that weather and home ground set them about even with the limited forces that Russia could muster, so the battle went on and on.

That seems a far cry from a fresh, confident US, with a strong military, including a number of tools that Iraq just does not have, like real air support.

Re. Attrition, I don't think that the situation will ever get into that mode. Air support is a very impressive tool and the US has a truly insane advantage in that arena, and pretty much all the other arenas too.

US military tools will work much better on a non-stone-age country like Iraq than they did on Afghanistan.
