Iraqi military facing ‘psychological collapse’ after losses, desertions

Once hailed as the greatest army in the middle east, Iraq's military on the path to complete distruction.

I wish this was not happening to those Iraqis who chose to believe our promises and agreed to work with our troops and diplomats. It is clear we owe them something for their trust and support; however, I honestly can not think of anything our military could do at this point which would not just make things worse, much worse, for them and for their pitiful country. No amount of American air power will solve this problem.

When you elect (and re-elect) a president who's policy in the war against islamic fanaticism is cut and run... these things happen.

1. Iraq Was A Puppet of the US... and No One Wants To Die Defending a Puppet Government

Elections my ass. The whole thing was rigged, from start to finish.

We know it, and if we know it, you can bet the Iraqis knew it, too.

You are channeling Vietnam again.

14. That's why it's always hard to "train" the natives

We're training them to defend "our" interest not their own people.

just a touch racist, my dear Kipling.

3. Not to make light of the dire situation of the Iraqi people

However, I wish all of the sociopaths who lied to start this war and profit from it would have a psychological collapse. But they are all sought out for their expert commentary by that liberal media.

"Bush's Fault"

11. isn't this the country that fought larger Iran to draw a few decades ago?

Before we disbanded, reconstituted, and "trained" their military?

yurbud is making a drive for stupidest DUmpmonkie of the year.

I see that you're already campaigning for DOTY candidates.

Is that an Obama baby picture? ....and is that the expression he made when his momma tried to tell him, "You're Bush's fault."

But what about the "elite Republican Guard"?

Remember those guys who surrendered by the thousands on first contact?

But they were Sunnis. Probably the same savages now causing our jug-eared Kenyan to give up.

The Pakistani doctor that helped the US identify and kill Obama bin Laden sits in a Pakistani jail despite pleas to be taken to the US. Obama cares nothing for people that help the US.

Goodbye Hillary, Bill and countless other demonrats and scores of other world leaders who believed that Saddam had WMDs.

 Oh wait. Hillary might be suffering that collapse given her recent stupid comments.

Greta interviewed a woman in Baghdad that said the people wanted the Americans to come back and protect them.

Pretty sad actually.

The "Religion of Pieces" strikes again.

Goota ask yourselves, DUmmies, why is it that the Middle East can't pull it's head out of it's Middle Age(s) ass.
