By all accounts, this weapon system has been extremely effective in Iraq. This, as well as upgrades to the M109, have proven far more cost-effective than Crusader would have been.
In all the talk about the "strain" being put on the U.S. military by the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, often ignored are the dividends paid in invaluable battle experience as well as the adoption of more practical equipment than is usually procured during peacetime. While this is no reason to go to war in itself, it certainly mitigates the damage done to our military readiness.
Here's hoping the Army continues to learn from its Iraq experience and applies those lessons.

"list of names, training camps and cells linked to Iran,"
If they aren't provided, and we know who and where they are, I hope they turn into dust very soon.
"Basra changed it for the Iraqis," an anonymous US military officer told Reuters. "I'm not sure they believed it before. But they went to Basrah and saw it first hand."
GOOD. That explains why Maliki has been so pro-active.
If that has been reported, I missed it.
Thank you so much for posting the LWJ.
Kudos, and deep appreciation, to BR.
