Iraqi Security Forces Update
Posted by Bill
Finally, some good news about the performance of some of the Iraqi security forces that are being trained to replace US troops and stabilize the country. Jeff Quinton obtained the exclusive recruiting image and combined it with detail from National Review: From their operating base in Kalsu (so-named for Bob Kalsu, a Buffalo Bills lineman and Army lieutenant who was killed during the Vietnam War), Douglas tells National Review Online, "The Iraqis are performing well-above my expectations. Their strengths are their aggressiveness and mobility, and we are enhancing those strengths." Douglas, commander of a Marine Force reconnaissance platoon and a reconnaissance and surveillance platoon, is referring to a crack Iraqi SWAT (special-weapons and tactics) team, sometimes referred to as the Al Hillah SWAT team.

Posted by: Ghost of a flea at October 13, 2004 03:46 PM great picture but you need to add that kickin SWAT theme song. Posted by: Sarah at October 13, 2004 05:45 PM That is one awesome picture Bill! Like Ghost of a Flea, I've saved it as wallpaper. Posted by: mshyde at October 13, 2004 05:55 PM I am now wondering why I wrote "this so kicks my ass". I * think * I meant "this so kicks ass". Though it is obvious those guys could so kick my ass. Posted by: Ghost of a flea at October 13, 2004 07:24 PM Just remember - we also trained and equipped the mujahedeen from which OBL and al Qaeda arose. Posted by: tipton cole at October 13, 2004 07:40 PM Just remember ... Way to piss in the cornflakes. Just remember, we also lost Vietnam. Just remember, small children die in war. Just remember, the revolution in Iran was largely a reaction against foreign influence. Just remember ... Just remember ... Sigh. Posted by: Bill from INDC at October 13, 2004 08:32 PM That picture is awesome. And tipton, if I recall correctly that was in the 80s and the Russians were trying to get into Afghanistan.
