The extra troops would not be doing the vetting of the Iraqi Army, they would be providing the security and containment of the Iraqi Army, while the vetting process was going on.

What do you envision, the American army would be holding the Iraqi Army prisoner, while the slow vetting process went on? The personnel who can do the vetting would remain the bottleneck. And if all these yet-unvetted soldiers weren't prisoners, what would they be doing, sitting at home? Working for who knows what side with their American funding?

There was no panacea to be had.
