Remember, these are the Iraqi soldiers our soldiers are dying month after monthto protect and train

Iraqis looted a military base vacated by British troops and stripped it of virtually everything removable on Friday, an indication of possible future trouble for U.S.-led coalition forces hoping to hand over security gradually to the Iraqi government.
