I've said they should be able to train Iraqis to do public security in two months, not to train their army in two months. Manning a checkpoint does not require 3 years of training.

Wouldn't the world and the Kurds be better of if the Kurdish part of present day Turkey were instead part of greater Kurdistan? And the Turks would put a barrier between them and the Iraqis.
