Default Whats left of Iraqs Military?

Ya, I know basically Iraqs military is basically nothing, but I'm curious does anyone know what is left of Iraqi armor and equipment after the occupation? I found this site which is quite interesting...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_of_Iraq

Although these figures were before Gulf War I (I guess thats that name for it), it does show how massive Iraqs military was at one point of there history. When the occupation began, I was shocked to see so much unused armor in stock piles near Iraqi bases. It looked fairly old and not upkept well, but a lot looked still basically intact. I'm just wondering if anyone knows if even a small percentage of this is operational and useful? They keep saying someday Iraqs military is going to be needed to control its country, could any of this be used (if any is left). Or is it most likely we (and maybe others) will just sell new arms to them?
