We could still use the same force to defeat Saddam first, at the mean time send in the rest of the troops to stable the area at the later phase. It doesn't take 500k troops to defeat Iraq, only half of them is enough, in fact, it only took 130,000 US troops 45,000 British troops and 1000 Australia troops to do it. Kuwait was the staging area for ops. Iraqi Freedom, and there were one time ov 260,000 US troops there. It won't be that bad for phasing in the second wave of additional 240k.
