Ohhhhh I get it. You're saying that there were predictions of lots of casualties in Desert Storm, and I predicted the Israelis would suffer more casualties than they did:

The guys who planned out the war-winning strategy predicted way more casualties. The guys doing the fighting expected it. It amazed everyone that all of the new American weapons systems performed pretty much perfectly. So I guess what you really proved is that even the best minds are not correct 100% of the time.

That doesn't even apply here tho. I predicted that the IDF would take heavy casualties when they invaded Lebanon. Which never happened. My mistake was assuming that they would invade.

Even if they had it they couldn't do anything with it. Not like they could input Washington DC coordinates into their Scuds lol. Saddam never expected to fight US in first place he thought they were bluffing and his army in Kuwait was similarly unprepared, in the first place they had a Soviet vintage military with limited capability to replace losses as the Soviet Union collapsed. Like Iranian military today is built to fight US, if US tried to invade and occupy Tehran I expect they'll deal at least 10-20k casualties. But Iraqi army was a dinosaur of tanks and general infantry meant to fight fellow Arabs, they had no protocol or gear to deal with USA which is how absolute disasters like highway of death occurred. Against an enemy that superior you can't hold cities or have columns advancing neatly. Their army didn't know how to operate otherwise.
