In your opinion, what % of the Iraqi National Guard are infiltrators

[burythehatchet]

laying low until called upon to join their insurgency?

[knowbody0]

1. my buddy in iraq says 100%

but that in the beginning it was not that way
no one wants them "watching their back"

[punpirate]

2. Well, if even Powell is saying they're...

... compromised, it's probably much worse than one can imagine. 60%? 70%? :shrug:

[soothsayer]

3. I think more than 80% would go with who they think the winners will be

So if there's an uprising against the US, they'll be right there fighting the US.

4. OK so basically we're arming them so that

they can presumably get ready?

5. all of them who sold out to the Americans ...

remember, the Americans are the infiltrators .. those who are in cahoots with them are traitors to the Iraqi people ...

the Iraqi National Guard is nothing by a puppet army trained to support U.S. efforts to occupy Iraq ...

so i guess i don't agree with the premise of the question ...

having said that, to accommodate the intent of your question, i would say that the actual percentage is not that relevant ... the key point is that the infiltration is sufficient to disrupt training operations and disclose to insurgent forces all activities of the Iraqi National Guard ...

there is no security in Iraq and there will be no successful training of a pro-occupation force ... and bush does not know how to fix this and Kerry will be unable to fix this ... we need to leave Iraq ASAP ... it doesn't matter what we think "should" happen there ... we have no power to change what WILL happen there ...

7. 10% insurgent infiltrators

90% untrained, unarmed, unequipped men in desperate need of a paycheck to keep their family alive.
