Talk:New Iraqi Army

message: -First this artcle should be called the Iraq Army
-Second the other artyicle refrring to saddams should come under history of Iraq Army of military history of Iraq.
- It should include the now new fact that former Saddam troops are now allowed in.
These are just suggestions I was going to change it unilaterally but people might object to that.
:They sound like reasonable changes to me. Feel free to go ahead and make them. --Daniel11 23:35, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Yep, I agree here too. If you think of better phrasing, go ahead and put it in. --Daniel11 23:35, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

text: This part of the article is several years out of date (the original plan was to have the entire Iraqi Army using a US weapons platform similar to many latin-american countries or US allies in the Middle East).  Since quality information about this subject in particular is so difficult to find I decided to leave what was already in the article rather than cut it out and not be able to put something into replace it.  But yes you are right, pretty much all the weapons the Iraqi Army uses right now are from the Eastern Bloc type family presumably because 1.) they are cheaper 2.) Most Iraqis are more familiar with them --Hypo 07:36, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I've deleted that section of the article now since it probably is quite misleading.--Hypo 07:40, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Subject 

message: The US Military no longer uses the term "New Iraqi Army" to describe the army of Iraq.  Instead it is just reffered to as simply "Iraqi Army".  This article should be moved to that title.

thread_title:  Change to Iraqi Army 

message: I found the phrase 'Whilst US troops have the most sophisticated and up to date equipment money can buy' under 'lack of equipment'; this isn't neccesarily so, and surely isn't NPOV, as far as I'm conserned.

Its been changed now--Hypo 03:35, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: USA army bias

message: A lot of the citations that I have put in are directly from military or pro-military websites.  These aren't really great sources for an NPOV article if you come across a fact and have a better source for the citation (such as an independant news organization i.e. Reuters), feel free to change it.--Hypo 18:32, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Sources for Citations

message: It looks terible.  Someone should get rid of that new template and replace it with the old one.--Fox Mccloud 16:38, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  new template 

message: The last sentence of this summary seems NPOV to me.  '"The depletion of almost the entire Ministry of Defense budget due to corruption cripples the effectiveness of the Iraqi Army."'  Any objections to deletion?  It may have been a suggestion of The Independent, in which case it should be attributed as their suggestion, rather than a statement of fact.

message: As I do not know how to update the template on the right hand side of the screen the last count of the new Iraqi AF is 3 C-130 transport aircraft we gave them. Drew1369 19:10, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Please provide a source and then I will happily update the table for you if you wish--Hypo 03:38, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: These aircraft belong to the Iraqi Air Force and as such, are not relevant to this article.  Mention of the aircraft has already been added to that article--Hypo 06:10, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Aircraft 

message: http://www.state.gov/p/nea/rls/78589.htm from the article. I'm not sure exactly how this changes the 137,500 number. or 125,000 as I've heard it some places.
MOD Forces will grow from:
-- 10 Army Divisions to 13
-- 36 Army Brigades to 41 
-- 112 Army Battalions to 132
-- Development of National Operations Center, National Counter-Terror Force, and National Strike Force

thread_title: Target numbers of units rising

message: Simply use the "del" tags to show the reader that the information is obselete.  In a rapidly changing and reference difficult topic such as this one, it is very difficult to find accurate and reliable statistics about anything related to the subject.  If something is old, please keep it (stricken) on the page as a record so that people can compare the facts for study.  If there is ever too many old statistics, they can always be moved to their own seperate page.  It is always better to have more information to deal with than arbitrarily less because you think the article is too long.  Thanks --Hypo 07:43, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Do NOT delete older statistics please!
