There's good ideas....

And then there's GREAT ideas. According to USA Today, as reported HERE, the nascent Iraqi government is fielding a request from some local insurgent leaders for some weaponry. Hmm...so the insurgents are asking for military help from the government they're fighting? Isn't this like us requesting British military help during the War of Independence...well yes...it is. The LOCAL insurgents are asking for some weapons to help fight the FOREIGN fighters...who, according to our State Department, account for "4-10% of the estimated 20,000 insurgents". Haider al-Ibadi, a Shiite lawmaker and member of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's Dawa Party has this to say

"They want to take part in the war against terrorists," said al-Ibadi, who supports the proposal. "They claim they could wipe out the terrorists and work with the government."

Let us try and wrap our heads around this. Although the article doesn't mention whether the requesting INSURGENTS are Shite or Sunni I think the point is moot...further arming of armed men is dis-arming but such is the rabbit hole that Iraq has become...Carry on Alice.

Stay Armed and as always...

Stay Naked.
