Third most powerful in the world, a Republican Guard trained and equipped to take on even an alien invasion! When the drums were beating for war. The first war.

What happened to all of those folks?

The police of the Ministry of Interior are well enough equipped and trained to capture, torture and kill a lot of Sunnis. The Sunnis resent this, by the way, and retaliate. Don't need more training.

The Kurds hate 'em both, don't mind killing anyone. Don't need any more training.

Ollie North! What a source. Ask his military contemporaries what they thought of him. A Conservative Idol, by the way.
