The Iraqi Army was a joke where only kiss asses and sadists got ahead. They had to be disbanded. Any security force had to built from the ground up. Iraq War was a fantastic success. The current rebuilding of Iraq is also a success. The politics of creating a democratic Iraq also moves ahead. Your simple minded analysis is the real laughing matter.

I think they'd already decided to stop doing that on their own after about 3 weeks. What's your point? They switched to IEDs? The idea behind keeping the Iraqi army together comes from the thinking that they were an existing trained and organized force. Yeah. Shooting at American troops. By screening them and making them a part of the new country it would have kept them from thinking that they had no job and no future other than joining the insurgency. What do the ones you "screen out" do? Join the insurgency? "Having run at every gunshot in the ghetto" ROTFLMAO(Laz a lot of people write that, but in this case, for the 1st time, it's actually true..you had me laughing so hard) What? You think anyone has any problem believing this is true of you?
