It is a well known fact that the iraqis and mujahideen are not very bright when it comes to firearms and tactics but they are still inflicting respectable causalties on their occupiers. If there were smarter more resourceful people fighting there how much more hell do you think they would be causing?

On the contrary, Iraqis and the mujahideen are seasoned soldiers. Iraq was in a seven year war with Iran 1981-1988, and the mujahidden battled the Russians in the mountains. They are experienced soldiers. That's one of the big problems the USA faces in that region.

They've got the strongest, best-equipped military in the world chasing shadows. They seem to be smart enough for the job. Besides, every Middle Easterner I've met is either an engineer or a doctor.

NEVER NEVER NEVER underestimate your adversary!!! These folks may look stupid, but they are by no means that. Most of the insurgency inst Iraqis, they are comprised of terrorists enlisted by the insurgency to fight against the US. They come from Saudi Arabia, Iran, Jordan, and other countries. They brought to the table IED's, these things are disguised in many fashions. Our troops are doing a great job combating these thugs and their terroristic ways.

I think the US and other troops in Iraq have all the intelligence they need to handle the situation. If you want to make things better give the extra intelligence to those far away making all the decisions.

They're actually smarter than you think. They are just lazy.
If they weren't lazy, then we'd have more issues. But do not under estimate them, because I have seen some Iraqi terrorists do some pretty genius stuff.
