The point is, it took us a week to do what the Russians couldnt do in 10 years. Nobody is a threat to us. Let alone Iraq. The only thing Saddam is a threat to are the Kurds and Kuwait.

For a part true, but still new technology and lessons learned from errors made by the Russians helped design the US military tactic(s) that gave them victory over the Taliban.
I agree that realistically speaking, no real threats to the US exists from not friendly foreign nations.
