Hell, IDK where you even got the idea that Iraq had anything less than a modern air defense and professional army. What professional analysts consider unrealistic is not that N. Korea would be crushed with relative ease, but that we could do it without leading to the devastation of Seoul.
Most of Iraq's soldiers were irregulars; that's one reason why they were so easily defeated. Also, many of the professional soldiers despised Saddam Hussein, which is why he would not allow them within the city limits of Baghdad for fear of a coup. Indeed, many of the Iraqi air-force defected to Iran before the shooting ever started!!
