I said that if they were capable batallions in the spring, they would still be now. If they were ready in the spring, the latter estimate of only 1 ready was either wrong and requiring explanation the likes of which I don't see, or the former estimate of 3 battalions ready was wrong. If the former estimate of 3 battalions ready was wrong, then there has been no backwards movement. Barring an explanation of how two battalions came to disolve into disorder, I'm left with the third option in which two opinions simply aren't in agreement.

Disagreements and opinions abound, but nothing seen here shows that two battalions have fallen from grace into disorder, as it were.

Therefore, for now I conclude it must be wrong to say Iraqi troop readiness is going backwards, as was said.
