Anyone want to take bets on if the current Iraqi military could take the pre-invasion one out in a head to head confrontation? (Assumptions: no air power for either side, equal armor, artillery, communication and logistics capability)

The new military is better trained and more motivated.

Remember last summer when all we heard were reports of none of the Benchmarks being met. We were pounded with the Democrats whining about Benchmarks. Benchmarks,Benchmarks,Benchmarks. If my memory is correct their were 18 Benchmarks.

And If I’m correct we’ve met most of them

Isn’t it obvious the surge hasn’t worked? I mean nothing good has come from it. They Iraqis could have done even better if we just pulled out.

The Iraqis are on a roll. Maybe they get good and bloodthirsty feasting on al-Qaeda ass, then go over the border and get some Quds force.

I have to confess this prospect gives me wood.

The number now is about 15 and counting. Meanwhile, the donkeys haven’t met any …

The Iraqi reconciliation is coming along alot better & faster than the one in our own Congress. The Al Sadr Democrats just won’t cooperate with ANYTHING and just keep attacking. Throw them to the dogs.

How about we ask for IA volunteers to join us in the A-stan Surge against the Tali … God knows they’d be a bit more effective than some of the “NATO” countries supposedly helping us over there …

Driller,
Yea, I like that idea. Send some motivated, well-trained freedom-loving IA grunts over to fight the Taliban.
After they kick the last of the AQ ass, they’ll need something to do. They’ll kick Terrys’ sorry ass too!
Move over NATO, let some fighters do their thing.

Why doesn’t McCain come out with an ad and say Iraqi’s have met 15 of 18 of “Congress’” benchmarks they required. Democratic Congress has done squat since they took control in 2006.

Thank God for Coburn (I’m an okie) because he is fighting Congress passing bills without debate and full of pork (crap).

Of course, I hope McCain hits them with a ‘big one’ after the Dem con. in case Hildebeast is in the wing … seems quiet on that end … they don’t give up. Ohuma is stupid! My mother taught me if you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all. Sorry Mom
