Surely the problem is access. Where are they going to invade from? I have no doubt that once they were on the ground they'd make mincemint of the Iraqi forces, but they've got to get there first.
For what its worth, the British army and navy didn't hold the US armed forces in terribly high regard. They see them as far too dependant upon technology. Not that that matters too much in Iraq (Afghanistan is a different story though).
