#1 BOO!

This shows that the Iraqi army is really becoming something to be feared by the bad guys and liked (or at least tolerated) by the locals.

The bad guys ran away because they had no support locally and if they stayed, they would have been killed or turned it.

Good job, guys.

#2 Good job but it would have been better to have some televised "The Mullahs Made Me Do It" confessionals.

#3 I just hope we are smart enough to be running the officer corp through the War College in Carlisle. Having a continual development of leadership is the key to keeping them the best and least corrupt Arab army.
