From Bill Roggio’s The Long War Journal:

Here in Wasit province, the Georgian Army deployed an additional brigade of light infantry as Coalition partners are beginning to draw down. Over 2,000 soldiers from the 3rd Georgian Infantry Brigade deployed to Forward Operating Base Delta on the outskirts of Al Kut in early July. Their mission is to interdict the Iranian ratlines that are funneling weapons, arms, and Special Groups terrorists into Iraq to attack the Iraqi Security Forces and Coalition forces. Georgian troops will establish a series of combat outposts along the major roads in an attempt to stem the flow of Iranian aid. Georgian officers have been reluctant to speak about their interactions with Iraqi tribal auxiliary police units being formed.

    Let me hear your balalikas (did I spell that right) (is it singing or ringing) out. Wonder if they can do that cossack dance. That’s tough on the knees.

    Georgia has distanced themselves from Russia and are fighting both Russian interference and Islamofacists in their own country. This is a good oportunity for the Geogians to take a tough stance on Islamofacism and improve their military training so as to be able to deal with the Islamofacists in their country/and/or the Russian military.

    They deserve a seat in NATO.

    Jarhead68, I’d hold my judgement. These Georgians may be more closely related to our Georgians than you think.

    Man, the rhetoric on Iran is really heating up - I wonder if we are actually about to DO something about the source of all these problems.

    Why in God’s name have we not shut down those ratlines earlier???
