I do not know of any studies that substantiate your statement, other than quoting a certain radio personality. Ever think that the IRAQI Police kidnapping 150 or so other IRAQIs are not just wearing copied uniforms (that issue was dealt with) and signed up for another reason? Makes one wonder, based on numerous similar occurrences, what kind of screening is done, what the "sign up" requirements are, and if they are recruiting BAATH party members... oh that's right, they (politicians) were trying to decide if they should let former Baathists into the Police and Army. I guess they decided FOR that! Please post a citation if they decided to exclude the Baathists from the Police and Army. TIA.
Look for your own information.
I cite what I do out of common sense and seeing what happened 30 years ago when we decided to throw in the towel. We felt the Vietnamese weren't doing enough either and abandoned them, giving them nothing in the way of support but hollow promises that never came to fruition.
As for your "POOR" statement, is any amount of money worth facing sucide bombers when they could just as easily join the insurgents? Ever think there are many who truly desire a chance to build their own style of free society? Not a mirror of our own, but theirs?
