The pecularity of guerilla warfare is that one has to be dismounted to fight it. The Bradly is a battle taxi, and is a fine one, you don't need it to have amphibious characteristics in an insurgency environment. The .50 cal/grenade launders/or 25mm cannons are all the firepower that you need to fight guerillas. The fact that the US is using arty/armour/air in Fallujha, is a different matter (compare the British low key ops in Basra to Fallujha).
