A defining moment in the war in Iraq, as more than 1,000 of Iraq’s forces cut and run.
Desertions in the heat of a major battle cast fresh doubt on the effectiveness of Iraqi security forces...
LOL. Effing NY Times! Gee, ya think?!
More than 1,000 Iraqi soldiers and policemen either refused to fight or simply abandoned their posts during the inconclusive assault against Shiite militias in Basra last week, a senior Iraqi government official said Thursday. Iraqi military officials said the group included dozens of officers, including at least two senior field commanders in the battle.
A major strategic victory!
