Yep. Frankly, I haven't seen any credible evidence ANY of the actual Iraqi Army has fought yet at all.

But for some reason some of the less-bright FReepers have let the Saddam Fidayeen convince them that ALL Iraqis are resisting, and since there aren't a lot of actual prisoners none have surrendered.

If the actual Iraqi regular Army WAS fighting, we'd have at least 200-500 killed by now, and we wouldn't be north of Nasiriyah.
