What would I have done....
Hm, probably not tried to fight the war on a budget like some CEO, ever mindful of corporate profits and shareholders.
Somebody already mentioned not immediately disbanding the Iraqi police forces etc. Yes, either that or conversely had a trained force ready to go before the invasion took place.
Other things of course, certainly a much larger contingent of troops and oh yeah, also finding out whose brilliant idea it was to attack one Muslim country from another Muslim country and have them assigned to a latrine digging company. (And no, Kuwait doesn't count in this case, mostly due to a minor and wholly unconnected series of events that occured there in 1990-1991)
The book Cobra II is an excellent source for this discussion...
