3 battalions, 1 battalion, none.

It's not as if 3 battalions has any significance (1000-3000 soldiers) in Iraq.

After 3 years, 25 battalions would be an utter failure. They need, at a minimum, 100 battalions.

They have, count 'em, none.

In case you haven't guessed, this a a major clusterfuck.

In less than 4 years the Axis was crushed in WWII (official US involvement).

But wait a minute...The Iraqis DO have a hundred battalions...fighting against us and each other.

This is an insane clusterfuck.

1. Yea, don't ya just love it! I can't remember where I heard this but

somebody said "we need to just tell the Iraqi's that we got rid of their dictator, it's their Country now, and they're going to have to handle it! We're leaving."

I was glad to hear somebody say that, and I sure hope it takes hold!

2. It might have worked 35 months ago.

Now? No way.

There's a new dictator in town.

3. There was some kind of lead up to that admission, something positive

like there were 2000 battle ready regiments or what not. The part about zero was a footnote.
