pinging this joke
The obvious question is why dont they just join the iraqi army?
Wow, interesting, hoepful, crazy, mind-bobbling. Why is it that this war has the flavor of "Lawrence of Arabia?" The *audacity*! Still, the very public nature of the split and the PR implications are awesome. Iraqis want to be the ones to say "see, WE kicked the terrorists out!"
Forget the arms ... give 'em cell phones and tell 'em to call in the *professionals*, ie the Iraqi Army.
Any plan to let insurgents stay armed, no matter what, is a recipe for solving one problem (foreign terrorists) while keeping another problem going (militias).
Make them scouts for the Iraqi army, but don't arm them.
5th element, little red button on the ZF1... lol
Watch the wharehouse seen in "The 5th Element"... you'll know what I'm talking about!
