Iraqi army will "distract" the US Army "by using light and medium weapons," according to the Iraqi army's newspaper, Al-Qadissiya, according to the Associated Press. The wire service said the Iraqi army has held exercises in central Iraq to practice fighting in "rural and populated areas."

Now read this Washington Times report and ponder whether "light and medium weapons" will be very effective. When our enemy defensive plan is to "distract" us, rather than defeat us, it means they know they are beaten.
