Please. The military and the Iraqis deserve better. Now what about the "training"?
Were I a betting man, and this were a bar, and I was drinking, I'd give you 100 to 1 odds on this failing. The troops in the field are quoted as saying it's a waste of time, active and retired military brass are saying it's a waste, and the clear problems with "training" show the Iraqis aren't interested.
By the way, what takes so long to train an Iraqi? Why is it so difficult? Bush & Co. has been at it for years and years, and can't find enough of anyone except Kurds to reliably fight for the Americans in non-Kurdish territories. That was the point of the post.
What's the "line" on that?
