Why did it take us over three weeks to secure the northeast?

200-300 AlQ? That segment tried to melt away to Iran.

It was SHs forces who were fighting us there against the Kurds.

Sorry, but you are wrong here.

Ask someone who was there.

Your assertion means nothing. What "northeast" do you say we were fighting in? The 173rd dropped in to no resistance. They did encounter resistance in Kirkuk and Arbil - along the line of Kurdish control - and around the Ansar enclave on the Iranian border. Do you have a shred of proof that we encountered Iraqi forces in between? Any at all?
