Saddam's Army

...was made up of conscripts. With the exception of the political officers and high level Ba'athist officers, the army self-dissolved. The Shi'a went home, et cetera.

The Saddam Fedayeen were a different kettle of fish. They were trained terrorists mainstreamed into Iraq's defense strategy.

Regardless, the bellyaching about disbanding the Iraqi Army is idiotic and lacks contact with reality.

P.S. Sorry about not posting on Rolling Thunder of Chavez Watch. I've been short everywhere.
