Finally you guys are starting to get it about the IA. They are not, and don’t need to be, capable on the level of western standards. IA with all its faults are a already now a capable force in Arab standard.

Simple example Iran Iraq war fought for years and years with hundreds of thousands killed and neither side pushed more than 10 miles or so on either side of the border. See WW2 and every western style engagement since WW1 to understand just how pitiful that is. And don’t think it’s just an Iraqi thing either see Syria, Jordan, Egypt, attempted invasion of Israel 3 times ect….The Arabs have two international range weapons OIL & Terrorism aka “Arab Cruise Missiles”, hopefully the latter will never have the chance to be mated with nukes or we will be badly scared and the Arabs maybe be a people only left in history books at the end of the day.

The two Arab region bad as*es is Turkey aka Ottoman empire aka Moores and Iran aka Persia.

And if you think those “minute men” “insurgents” terrorist are that bad as*es try to explain why their only chance of success against US is killing women & children so they can stay on the Western nightly news in the sad hope that we are going to become the first nation in all of history to Surrender a war effort because the enemy is killing to many of HIS OWN CIVILIANS. Personally I am not sure what is sadder the above being the terrorist only hope for defeating us or us actually allowing such a asinine plan to be anything more than a laughable joke.
