Need about 40,000 to sweep in one huge air and boots the black robed filthy animals right up to the Syrian border. Meanwhile our air power should be destroying the Syrian border into glass. Should take about a week.
Then set up the Iraq army to go door to door and kill any they find. Harsh, you bet your ars. Take guns away from the population and only allow them to those that will join home guard.

What poor memories these guys have. We’re going to train Iraqi’s so they can shoot us in the back.
