#1 This is disturbing. If they won't defend freedom with the Coalitionthere what makes them reliable when we (hopefully) leave?

#2 Fred / CS - They're Arabs which means that they're definitely not defending Freedom - they don't even remotely "get" what that is - yet. And regards being no better than the Iraqi Army, well, they probably are Iraqi Army guys who vaporized when approached by the coalition forces -- and thought they could get an easy gig signing up with the CPA. Imagine their terror when they realized that we actually expected something Army-like from them! And without a fatwa, too! I figure that until we have Mullahs issuing ding-dongs to do this and do that, they'll be worthless. Life moves on money, so what we pay them means something, but it's certainly obvious now that it's the wrong currency for expecting anything more than standing around looking pretty in their new uniforms. Sigh - just my take on it.

#3 Have the guys who won't fight guard a remote camel corral in the former Scud box. Don't give them any sunscreen. Tell them they can come back to duty in a city in a couple of years when they are man enough to protect people.
