Anyone can beat the shit out a little kid, even 50 in a row, but try fighting just one person who is very similar in strength and it becomes a different story.
Calling Chinas military "50 Iraq's" is an under statement.
Don't forget America is fighting Iraq with the aid of England, Canada and Australian troops. I'm sure they make up at least 20% of the force in Iraq.
Would those same allies help fight China? I honestly doubt it.

You're right, I was trying to be conservative with my estimates.
Not only does China have roughly 50 times the military budget than Iraq did, but China has a more advanced military than Iraq did, since Iraq was under sanctions for so long they had no ability to acquire better weapons.
My point is that people that think a war with China would be an easy task are ignorant and foolish.
