It will take weeks, not months.
It did take mere weeks for u.s. armored personnel carriers to have the run of the land within Iraq's borders.
Of course that's not the same thing as winning a war.
If we were to try to hold the coast of Iran, it would be under constant threat from out-of-uniform operatives taking their orders from Tehran.
Just like the much flatter, and much small Iraq, we could dominate this area, but could we pacify it? Probably not.

It is the same thing as winning a war. Had we left Iraq after three weeks, we could claim victory. The rest came about from the misguided belief that Iraq could be tuned into a Westernized democracy.
