I guess the Iraqi Army is right up "on the step" training-wise or at least as much as a bunch of yahoos with fully automatic weapons can be.

Iraqi soldiers rolled through a Shiite militia stronghold in Basra on Wednesday, drawing scattered bombs and bullets that wounded a camera operator for a U.S.-funded TV station and narrowly missed the commander of government troops in the city.

Glad to see it's working out so well over there, yes indeedy!

I'm sure that given one news cycle and a few of John McCain's infamous BBQ ribs the media will be attributing this to Osama bin Laden riding down the streets in a open car firing at random.
