These aren't Iraqi policemen nor soldiers, these are "former" insurgents, armed and funded by US :crazy:

1. They'll be insurgents again in a few weeks.

History will look back on the US invasion & occupation of Iraq as one of the biggest and most idiotic cluster f*cks of all time.

2. We'll have to keep paying them. The second those checks stop, it's

back to roadside bombs and mortar attacks--with the weapons WE gave them. Nice.
