#1 Good article. The intelligence has got to be getting better and better since the Iraqis must have a fair idea of who is doing what. If the main stream news media did not have their own leftish agenda, our guys and the Iraquis would be better off.

#2 Funny how this sort of thing is *never* reported by the media. To them its all QUAGMIRE! ANOTHER VIETNAM! etc....

Good luck to the new Iraqi military.

#4 This is the beginning of the payoff for the much maligned decision to disband the Iraqi army and police. As a result of starting from scratch things were much tougher for the first couple of years but will be much better from here on out than they would other wise have been. I'm glad Chimpy McBushitler and his evil master Chainey had the nads to do the right thing.

#5 agreed SC - trying to make do with the assholes in charge when we arrived would've been easy in the short-term (Dems applaud) - more successful but harder to do in the longterm. Purges were necessary. Watch how the results build

#6 When a nightmare is bestowed upon those who have struggled hardest to bring it into being it's not a nightmare, it's called "just desserts."

To quote Oscar Wilde:

When the gods wish to punish us they answer our prayers.

The Iraqui Sunnis have yearned for ascendency no matter what cost in human life. Little did they suspect it might be them who would finally have to pay the piper.
