I think the fort idea was also tried by the French in Indo-China but with less success. They may also have been less a fort than a fortified post but the principle was the same.
An interesting thought about getting the UN back but cannot see the US agreeing to that given the statements about "liberating" the country and it would surely be regarded as a victory for Saddam Hussein if the US-UK forces drew stumps at this point no matter how the spin-doctors tried to dress it up.
