battle-hardened army would turn Iraq into the "mother of all battles"

No,
Those who thought about the invasion for more than five minutes knew that Iraq was weak, much weaker than it was for the first Bush war. I think it was generally thought that there would be more casulties than there were, mostly civilian, but nobody thought Saddam was any kind of real threat. That's why the war didn't have be fought right then.
