If Games Workshop's Imperial Space Marines existed, how long would it take before they pacified Iraq?

Yes, I know it's a nerd question but I am at work and I am bored.

A couple of days. They'd use their psykers (librarians etc) to determine what the enemy was up to. Scouts and servo skulls would be sent out to find the enemy and disable their weapons. Gunships would patrol the skies while directing where individual marines should be sent to clean house.


The marines wouldn't need much more than frag grenades and bolters with some being issued with flamers.


The IEDs that are being used against the tanks are the hardest hitting thing the terrorists have and I'd think that the ceramite armour of the marines would take it and just knock the marines off their feet.


Space marines wouldn't be worried about collateral damage either and if they get too much bad press and protests against them, well there's always an orbital bombardment solution to that up to and including exterminatus - hopefully not and end of rant.
Reply:It really depends on how many Space Marines you are talking about. One squad? A whole Chapter? Do they have Imperial Fleet support?





Also, what do you mean by pacify? Is it the our version, or the Space Marines version of "pacifying" the enemy?





And yes it is a pretty nerdy question, but I'm bored as well, lol.





EDIT: Why would a company of Ultramarine have Lemon Russ battle tanks, they can only get predators and variations thereof. Also of note, what company are we talking about - is it the First company with Terminators and Honor Guard or is it just a regular line company?
