Our Ba'athists

The poor performance of the new Iraqi army has U.S. commanders mulling putting some of Saddam's former officers in the mix.

I literally cannot wait for the White House spin on this development.

But a Ba'athist infusion does make some sense in that the new army lacks leadership, which is another way of saying the men in leadership positions are not respected, or feared, by their troops.
