Iraq Forces - How many 'fully capable' units have been trained and how soon before they replace our military?

NAZGUL - what could improve that process? And at what point do we not say, they'll have to do the best they can to protect themselves, we can't be there every day to do it for them? Is it not at least partially true to say, they'll be their military will be at least as well trained then compared to when they had Saddam, and could the same not be said for their government? All we had to do was erradicate the influence of Saddam Hussein's military along with that of his Bath Party right? Then convert them to a new, democratically influenced military minus the previous sinister leadership. Why is it any more complicated than that, why should it take a decade for this conversion to take place, unless we we meant to stick around longer?? All I'm saying... We could transfer the balance of power back to their own country and let them fend for themselves at this point, if we couldn't do it by now, then maybe we need to accept we either didn't try hard enough or we stunk at it.

sorry for the typos there just now... I didn't proofread it until now but I still think I make a good point.

Besides, sick of hearing about it. And sick of hearing about how much we're spending on it, I wish we could accomplish getting them set up enough to fend for themselves and get out of there already. We have enough else we could and should be concentrating our efforts on.
