How can the Iraqi Army do better when they are not trained, they have been recruited recently. They are unexperienced. The vast majority are shia who only joined cos they had a thing or two against Saddam... and also joined up cos they were unemployed.... they are not with it mentally as well.
I am not the only one saying this.... its US soldiers complaining in blogs saying "when are these Iraqi soldiers gona stand up for themselves and fight for their country".... ermmm cos they are uncapable... and turning Iraqis against Iraqis will not mean success. This is what creates civil war and sectarianism. I think the Americans had enough and pushed untrained Iraqi Shia Soldiers to the front line. Of course, the bodies of those soldiers are found scattered around baghdad the next day.
Oh and by the way, those Iraqi Shia soldiers are divided themselves. Some pay allegiance to Moqtada Al Sadar, some to Iran directly, some to their tribal shia leaders... some to the government... and some are working for the resistance also providing intelligence.
