Another in a long line of train derailments occurred in America last week...and the Republican Senate responded by cutting funding for that infrastructure. Many of those same people want another surge in Iraq.
While our infrastructure falls apart the Rumsfeld disciples are most concerned about achieving Bush's land of Oz in the Middle East.
The Republican spending platform for 2016: rebuild Iraq and let America fall apart.

PJ, you are forgetting the structure of the Iraq army. For many years under Saddam, it was a one man dictatorship with orders given and the troops either obeyed or died. It takes time and a spine to get rid of the idiots and replace them with officers who would stay around in a firefight. The Iraq government has a great deal to do with the troops doing the high tail it and run like hell.
