Iraqis Increasingly Taking Fight to Enemy

[jackschmittusa]

Reported levels of trained persnel are meaningless by themselves, especially after all of the previous BS about it by this administration.

A battalion is the smallest fully contained combat unit in the army. It contains all of the elements necessary to sustain itself (not including re-supply of course).

Now if they would only report the number of battalions that have the training and equipment to match an American Army battalion, then the reports would be meaningful.

So, when can we use em Irakis as cannon fodders in our liberation of Iran? Oh wait, we did that already in the 1980s.

145,000 trained? Are those Rumsfeld's/DiRita's numbers? Remember Sen. Biden's comments that about 4000-5000 have been properly trained to handle combat duty? Of the 145,000 trained so far, some have received just initial training and many have fled or even gone so far as to join the other side. The training of Iraqis will be a long, drawn-out process.

Now remember, everyone, Conjur is ON SITE and is PERSONALLY supervising the whole of the effort in Iraq. He knows more about this than anyone else, so be sure you check with HIM before you believe any new reports out of Iraq. It is ESPECIALLY important to follow this last rule if there is any GOOD news out of Iraq: Conjur can assure you that there is in fact NO good news out of Iraq, and help set you back on the Path to Pessimism with his new book, all for only $29.95!

Have you been there? How about you actually address the points read instead of your diatribe of an ad hominem.

Care to dispute (with proof) the findings of Sens. Biden and Hagel?
