Strangely enough, I hardly hear any talk of the Iraqis we supposedly trained to defend the nation.

This is when you stand up folks.  Where are you?

I think we're going to have to wind up putting boots on the ground at some point, so even if these folks don't stand up, it's to our advantage to address this before we're dealing with a massive Islamic nation.

——This is when you stand up folks.  Where are you?——

The major problem with the Iraqis we trained is “country” takes a second seat to “tribe” ...that is where their loyalties lie....

Only a strongarm leader can gel these tribes into a fighting force....
