Build up an Iraqi military capable of doing all the flattening. They're probably much better suited to this than the US army, under Saddam, they had to deal with a lot of Kurdish insurgents, and their standard tactic (surprise, surprise) was to surround a hostile town and flatten it with airstrikes, helo strikes, artillery, and tank fire, then have infantry clear out the rubble.
