#1 Very few Iraqis actually showed up to fight and die alongside American soldiers and Marines.

That was 2004 -- I'm not sure that, three years later, this "fact" is now a "fact."

Just scan the headlines of Rantburg each day, and the Iraqi forces are not only showing up, they are fightn' hard.

Come on guys, get with the program. You are so '04. Get over it.

#2 Not only are the Iraqis getting into the fight as police and soldiers, people in the neighborhoods are ratting out the jihadis in their midst. If you don't understand this phenomenon, go watch a Clint Eastwood movie - the townsfolk don't fight against the baddies until they think they can win.

And speaking of movies, "Jihadis in the Midst" would make a great title!
