When the body counts are orders of magnitude apart, that is a significant difference and it is far from the only one.

The two situations are so different as to defy any useful analogies or comparisons between them. Stalingrad was a major part of the process that led to the destruction of the Germany government and to a great extent the physical destruction of Germany. It was part of a process that led to total defeat of a fully mobilized Germany. Defeat of that sort is impossible with the situation in Iraq. The absolute worst case scenario would be something like the loss in Vietnam, but with a much lower body count than Vietnam. The comparison to Vietnam also has serious problems but at least its much better than the Stalingrad/WWII comparison.
