Then you don't talk with the troops out in the western part of Iraq, we do not have the forces necessary to complete troops to tasks. We are very much looking forward to more Iraqi Army.
I am in the worst place in Iraq and we have yet to capture or kill any insurgent that was not an Iraqi. They are here somewhere, we just have yet to see them. And this is on my on my third trip.
Oddly enough the locals will say we are the problem and then say we can't leave until it is safe. I am positive that they are all insane.

If you are indeed "over there". Do you really think it's wise to be posting what you have on a public board? I'm surprised that you have access to a keyboard if in fact you are in Western Iraq.

The rest of your posts tell quite the story, yut. So you are not a soldier. Are you an Iraq citizen?

That is apparently the issue. Too many US troops and we'll piss them all off; Iraqi troop training and leadership evaluation seems to take forever. It's a delicate balance if we hope to get the country up on its own feet and headed our way in the long run. I'd heard that at least some of the local Sunni clan leaders do not have logic as their main strength. Apparently some are described as "Iraqi hillbillies". Definately go'n'na' take some time, unfortunately.

Ah ha! The poster is Yut.

Everyone knows that yut is the singular of yutes and we all know what the yutes have been up to lately in the western part of Iraq, commonly known as France.

Ha!

I don't know who your "we" is, but your post no matter is certainly disingenuous.
