I just don’t understand why we killed thousands of Iraqis in order to build a new Iraqi Army.

The army received the first 11 Abrams in August. That was part of a $6 billion arms package approved by the United States in December 2008 to provide 140 M1A1s and 400 Stryker combat vehicles. Both are built by General Dynamics Land Systems.Lobbyists: all your Congressmen are belong to us.

The Iraq-Iran War, which was the bloodiest trench stalemate since 1918, kept two sets of dangerous people fully occupied. Saddam was the recipient of under-the-table-intel from us, not-to-mention quite a few million artillery rounds and other supplies from us and our NATO pals. About 1.5 million casualties later, the Iraqis managed to push about 5 miles into Iran, and vice versa, and it was excellent cover for bumping off those annoyingly oil-rich Kurds by both sides!
Perhaps the Pentagon Planners intend to stage Iran-Iraq II, fighting the Iranians to the last Iraqi and hopefully, the last Iranian.
If that is the case, 140 Abrams tanks are not going to cut it.
Attention Kurds: Learn Spanish and take a look at Southern California Real Estate.

Because they are pinning down the Iranians on the west.

Our tax dollars at work.
Once the US leaves these weapons will be used to kill Christians, Sunnis and Kurds, not Iranians.
Why the USA politicians wasted $3 to $4 trillion dollars of taxpayer money and suffered 4,500 killed and 33,000 wounded just to build another disfunctional militant muslim terrorist state is a question for the ages.
They will not be our friends.
No matter how much we do for them and how much we spend building their army they will always remember we invaded their country and killed their fathers, sons and husbands.

Yeah, I don’t understand why we killed all those Germans and Japanese in order to build a new Army for each of them.
