One U.S. official involved in both military operations and intelligence said there are thousands of Iraqi troops unaccounted for.“That’s the scary part. We don’t know where these guys went to. Did they just melt into the population? Are they planning to come back out as paramilitary? Are they laying in wait?” the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
It’s not like I have any special insight that others don’t, but I guess I’m inclined to think yeah, all of the above. Time will tell, though.
