Even if true, after all this time, the Iraqis should have an army and should be doing this themselves by now.
You say they are "waging war". Sorry, but that is not true. They are waging a politically correct "kill them softly" campaign. Since day one, they have fought with one hand tied behind their back and the other hand restrained politically.
If the Marines were truly "waging war" this thing would have been over with two years ago.
Just ask any Marine (like two of my nephews over there who tell me this).
