US officials: Iran's militias just failed in Iraq because they can't shoot or coordinate

Great.

Now Obama and Kerry will be bringing them here for advanced military training in marksmanship, strategy, and tactical coordination.

Three militias explicitly linked to Iran, the Asaib Ahl al Haq, the Hezbollah Brigades, and the Badr Corps, withdrew their troops from the front lines following the US intervention.

In addition to being pisspoor soldiers, they don't play well with others.

They might not be able to shoot straight, but they are very good at massacring Sunnis and leveling their villages.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that, according to Obama, as he orders more air strikes in support of the Shiite militias and Iranian Quds forces.

That’s not something to take much comfort in.Hoping that your enemy can’t shoot straight.

I think all of these Muslims shoot the same way.That is spray and pray.Still they kill enough of our troops and Obama is going to waste more of them in Afghanistan.

As a former Air Force member, I’m hardly an expert of marksmanship, but if you watch some of footage that is typically looped on FNC and other news channels, I can see why the militias (and ISIS terrorists) are such poor shots. Their basic technique seems to be “pray and spray;” hold down the trigger until your clip is empty and hope you hit something.

Also worth noting that the Shia militias were “advised” by members of the Iranian Quds force, which is supposedly the cream of their military crop. If this vaunted “fighting force” needed a month to take Tikrit, you can imagine how long it will take them to re-capture Mosul.

That won’t be a problem, with Obama’s help, Iran will soon be a nuclear power. Aim isn’t all that important with a nuke.

I've read different versions of this, many noting that the Iraqi Army taking Tikrit are mostly Sadr militias. We must know, obviously not making it clear

“”U.S. officials assessed that the Iranian-backed assault on Tikrit was failing because of the inaccuracy of Iranian artillery”

Nothing to worry about then re their nuke program. Should they use it, it’ll end up in their own backyard.
