I'm not worried about the regular Iraqi soldiers, I'm worried about the four divisions of Republican Guard whose members are either part of Saddam's tribe or allied tribes and have no choice, since opposing tribes will butcher them if they fall from power. These people, by the way, are stationed strictly in Baghdad and did fight hard during the first war.

I still think they're over-rated. I think they'll all be just like the "soldiers" that the Nazis had forced into service at Normandy: unwilling to fight and ready to surrender.
