I wouldn't be too quick to dismiss this thought.

There are as we all know an enormous amount of various weapons in and about Iraq. There has to have been some adaquat rifle training. Weapons, stealth, tactics taught.
Fact is I think I remember soldiers from various mid-east countries training at courses I went through in the Army.
Hopefully some one in that country is fighting for us.

Oh, I don't dismiss it. It just seems too, well, perfect for it not to be our idea - and our guy. They are bottled up, the clerics are not supporting them, we need to turn the locals against the army, and one person starts picking them off, showing their vulnerablility, etc. It would be great if it was an Iraqi. I just don't think so.
