Rags to Riches to AK-47's
The Iraq daily Al-basa’er has reported that the militia’s have improved their financial situation by Iran giving them some green backs. The report goes on to say that the lowest ranking members of the militia’s are riding around in cars, living in nice houses, and have fat bank accounts. There are livings in the nicest and richest section of the city. I bet their all eating good too. If this is the lifestyle of the lower ranking members of the militia, I wonder how the higher ranking members of the militia are living. Beach front property maybe.
Given all this information I think it’s going to be tough for a militia member lower ranking or not to give up his allegiance to an institution or his gang to do a three year hitch with the New Iraqi Army. It’s going to be a tough sell. I have always said an Iraqi with an Ak-47 and a new set of sneakers is a hard one to catch and he can do a lot of damage. Let’s hope the militia members do what’s right for their country and give up their AK-47’s. They can keep the sneakers.
