What this thread is not about is that the Iraquis are not getting the latest Russian antitank weapons (Kornet etc) which as we have seen in the last Israily--Hesbulah conflict were effective enough to liquidate armour superiority. Both Iran and Syria are well equiped with these weapons that can easily knock out any Nato tank. Should anyone decide it convenient to arm the Iraquis with these weapons, Xenophon's March of the Ten Thousand will be a cake walk compared to what the presently obsolete U.S. Army will face.
