Fourth largest military? This has been exposed for the lie it is. Where have you been?

It was at the time the fourth largest military in the world. I believe we've discussed this here before.

"Few issues will be of greater importance to a post-Saddam Hussein regime than successful military reform. Over the last three decades, Iraq's military--at one time the fourth largest in the world--has had a significant role in the deconstruction of Iraqi society and the rise of the Ba'ath party." -- aei.org

"Iraq went from the fourth-largest army in the world to the second-largest army in Iraq in 100 hours" -- Lieutenant General Tom Kelly

You get the idea.
