Soldiers face murder in Iraq

[Abcdxxxx]

Huh?

Yeah so 18,000 poorly trained border guards still can't do the job which was accomplished by 600 of Saddam's loyalist. That's because only a couple hundred of our 18,000 had gone through training by mid-2004. I don't know what the current figure is.

Irregardless, Saddam had his borders locked down. You haven't proven otherwise, or proven that a nation can not control a border. If he allowed corruption, it's because he allowed it. Iraq's borders were probably the most solid in the region. Even areas that were weaker, like the Kurd-Turk border, only increased in tension when the borders became vulnerable under occupation.

For the last time, the percentage of foriegn fighters means little. Who trained them? Where do they take their cues from? Who arms them? Who finances them? Who and what are they fighting for?
