Hey, I was THERE, remember? The Left was predicting that Afghanstan would defeat us, never mind Iraq. "the Nation That Ran Off the U.S.S.R.!" Remember? Oh, that's right. The Left was ALWAYS for the war in Afghanistan.
The predictions I mentioned on Iraq were made, on many fronts, and just because you have no problem rewriting reality to what you'd like to remember, doesn't mean it wasn't true.
A typical article on casualties, here. Another here.
All predictions of Saddam's military fighting us house-to-house. Nobody I know predicted what would actually happen, which is that the Iraqi army would fold up and go home, and that the urban fighting we eventually ended up doing would be against a guerrilla insurgency, and terrorists imported and supplied from other nations.
Note again the matter-of-fact references to chemical weapon use.
