One might ask who was Cheney talking about when he was refering to Iraqi's shouldering 50% of the casulties:
Cheney was referring to the Iraqi National Guard units under centcom's command.
They in large part are the ones doing the door-to-door fighting in the Sunni Triangle.
Iraqi's fighting for Saddam's Baathist regime, and Iraqi's fighting for al-Qaeda do not count.
- But isn't it odd that the John's share some common talking points with Al-Qeada and they think Iraqi's fighting for CentCom do not count?
