And they are taking kids off the street to fight.

We were not building an Iraqi army. We were hiring people to wear a uniform and collect a paycheck.

It's only an army if the men in it are willing to fight.

As far as the Shiite majority in Iraq, they will either be killed, driven out of Sunni areas (the areas with oil), or develop a willingness to exterminate the Sunnis utterly.

And, they’re being butchered as fast as they sign up.

So sad...so many have given so much....and still are, today. For this.
