Former Senator-for-Life from Massachussetts, self-defined war hero, speaker of French, owner of a lucky hat, conqueror of Cambodia, and current Secretary of State...
said Wednesday that the Iraqi Army will be rebuilt as part of a global strategy to be outlined within hours by President Barack Obama
I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody...

#5  When we get a President that knows what the hell he is doing, he should ask for the resignation of any officer promoted to general by nowhere man and reactivate every general fired by nowhere man.

Also, I would look at every major, LTC, and Colonel promoted by nowhere man and I would look at every one with scrambled eggs that was asked to resign or was RIFed by nowhere man.

He torched our competence and leadership in the military to get a bunch of sycophants and pussies to "run" the military.

#3  Let's see. A party machine that promotes corruption to stay in power recommends 'reconstituting' an Iraq army that was staffed and run to promote corruption as well. The same political machine that back home is promoting PC officers over merit in its own military.

#2  Arab "soldiers" is proverbially the equivalent of bull $%^%.

ISIS is good at killing civilians but they are no more soldiers than the pakistani Army in Bangladesh were soldiers. Th ePaks killed 3 million civilians and surrendered 93,000 prisoners after running for 13 days until they were cornered.

Moslems are that kind of "soldier".
Give Baghdad Bob my best.

You can't train a Moslem to be anything but what he is.
