Why trying to build Arab Armies will not work

I am giving you a link to an article published in 1999 which obviously no one in the Bush admin read. Actually anyone who had spent anytime over there knew it would not work.
There was a reason Saddam ruled the way he did. The same with Tito in Yugoslavia.
What happens when the dictator goes away? Just what we got.

Great article.And thanks for the link. It should be required reading for ALL U.S. military officers and Potential Commanders-in-Chief.

My comment was in that vein, addressing the article that was posted in the first post. We aren't speaking about economics. If you took the time to read the article, you would know this.

You've been handed your ass, again. You've been found wanting, LustyTard. Take your rusty balloon knot and drag it on over to RL's trailer and get what's coming to you. I've already reamed it out, should be nice and easy for him.

He didn't read the story, obviously. It was about middle eastern culture and the military realities that you face when trying to build a traditional army.

Dubai is a cool place.
