Doubtful. When the Soviet Union tried to control Afghanistan, did they have the same limmitations on them? They were a superpower as well. I think guerrilla warfare in general is just hard to deal with when you are in an unfamiliar area, especially a city full of people who don't like you, and who are dedicated to the cause of making sure you don't control the region.
