"There has to be a good reason for the 45 age limit... "

Maybe some Iraqi politico owns the company that makes false IDs in Fallujah. Create distrust of any man over 45? Maybe we're looking for a couple specific leaders whom we know are over 45.

There are very, very few Iraqis in the 40-60 age bracket - they were of fighting age in the 80s during the war with Iran. Saddam pretty much wiped out an entire generation.

I believe around 70% of the Iraqis are age 30 and younger.
