General: Iraqi forces may be too weak

By LAUREN FRAYER, Associated Press Writer 41 minutes ago

BAQOUBA, Iraq - The U.S. commander of a new offensive north of Baghdad, reclaiming insurgent territory day by day, said Sunday his Iraqi partners may be too weak to hold onto the gains. The Iraqi military does not even have enough ammunition, said Brig. Gen. Mick Bednarek: "They're not quite up to the job yet."

His counterpart south of Baghdad seemed to agree, saying U.S. troops are too few to garrison the districts newly rid of insurgents. "It can't be coalition (U.S.) forces. We have what we have. There's got to be more Iraqi security forces," said Maj. Gen. Rick Lynch.

The two commanders spoke after a deadly day for the U.S. military in Iraq. At least 12 soldiers were killed on Saturday from roadside bombings and other causes, leaving at least 31 dead for the week.

1. God have mercy on me. Why? Because when I started to read this shit

my first reaction was to laugh. It is such an insane piece of garbage, I just laughed.

Now I think I'll go lay down. With f**king wankers like Brig. Gen. Mick Bednarek and Maj. Gen. Rick Lynch running things, we will never see the light of day. We are sooooooo screwed.

I keep saying all the worthy, intelligent, and decent military brass have left the service.

This is proof.

4. Then let's leave the ammo that we have now for the Iraqi Army ...

wish them well and offer to be a fair broker when they are ready to work out a peace agreement ...

then, without hesitation, gather our troops and sequentially, by thoughtful steps, GET THE FLOCK out of The Middle East. :shrug:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Bush administration told Congress on Friday of plans to sell Iraq about 400 million rounds of small arms ammunition, 170,000 grenades, demolition explosives and other military gear and services valued at up to $508 million.

The Pentagon's Defense Security Cooperation Agency said the Iraqi government had asked for up to 100 million rounds of both M855 5.56mm and 7.62mm ammunition for small arms, as well as about 200 million other bullets.

"This proposed sale directly supports the Iraqi government and serves the interests of the Iraqi people and the U.S., as well as offering hope for a more stable and peaceful Middle East," said the agency that handles government-to-government arms sales.

8. They are slowly leaking out the truth...

some of the public already knows that it is even worser than what they are leaking,and many more are starting to become more aware. I am surprised that it has taken this long.
