#1 Those Moslem 10,000 "troops" will STILL be expected to actually FIGHT. Not stand around and snarl. Not stand around and wave their arms. Not stand close to the helicopters that brought them up to the Front. But actually deploy and lock and load and take the objective.

Do you suppose said "troops" are motivated and their morale is high and they are proud of their previous record ( or that they actually HAVE a proud record as men who actually Fight)?

Or do you suppose they are typical Iraqi Moslems? Moslems are known for producing real soldiers. Yes ? Their reputation as soldiers is... ( just how would your describe Moslems as soldiers )?

#2 How many ISIS insurgents are dug-in in Ramadi? Is this another effort where Iraqi troops drop their weapons and leave their equipment behind only to replenish ISIS arms & equipment?
