If you walked even near a mountain zone region like Sulayminah, you were in breach.
The Iran-Iraq border is 800 miles.
The Syrian border is about 376 miles.
The other 4 countries Iraq shares a border with are participatory allies so that cuts your 2281 mile border equation in half.
That's assuming the US had a plan for border security at all, and they didn't.
Unlike our Southern Border, there are no cities right against the border. That comparison is retarded.
