Main problem, IIRC, was that they were designed to deny single runway WP runways in Eastern Europe, whilst Iraqi airfields were/are enormous with up to nine main runways and taxiways suitable for aircraft operations. Meaning denying a MOS was almost impossible - and every airfield would have had to be revisited almost daily to keep the suppressed.
