bring back Saddam's soldiers, we apparently can't make enough of our own. (By the way, the "less than half" is a joke. Only one (1) Iraqi unit is capable of operating on it's own, according to recent testimony before the Senate.)

Link below; my emphasis.

"The Iraqi defence ministry has called on all former officers of Saddam Hussein's disbanded armed forces, up to the rank of major, to join the new army.

"All former army officers who wish to rejoin the forces are invited to do so. These officers must rank no higher than major," a statement said."

"According to US officials, less than half of Iraq's security forces are currently capable of operating on their own."
