| #9 "anti-Iraqi force members" I like it! Could be better - could be terrorists - or Jihadi's or...whatever...but I don't think anti-Iraqi is bad. |

| #8 gromky: Giving the Iraqi troops body armor is as good as setting up "free body armor" stands for the enemy. Only for guys conducting raids - counted and monitored like rounds of ammunition. |

| #6 "[A]nti-Iraq force memebers?" What the hell does that mean. Were the 9-11 terrorists "Anti-American force members?" Why does our government and the media have so much trouble calling things for what they are. Calling them "insurgents" is bad enough. |

| #3 Agree with both -- more stuff for the Iraqis in the short term, movement towards independence in the medium term. I'm certain the latter is a key part of our training and operations. What's really interesting to me about this is the location -- the south. Who are these bad guys? Sadr's boys hung it up a while ago. Any info or guesses? |

| #2 Five for one isn't bad, especially considering what the Paks get. Lessons learned and continuous imporvement is what they need the most. Sooner or later they need to be weaned from the teat of ncle Sugar. |

| #1 Article: Seven Iraqi Force members were killed and 10 were injured during the operation. Goddamn it - that's too high - way too high. They need to get better - a lot better. I hope they are getting everything they need, including body armor and fire support - mortars, artillery, aerial assets, the works. |
