I have no doubt that an Arab military force would do better than the US forces.

I have a very strong doubt that that would be the case. They would have the advantage of speaking the language, but in most ways the Arab military forces are far less capable than American forces. I also have a very strong doubt that any sizable Arab force would be deployed in Iraq if the US and/or the Iraqi government tried to cause this to happen.

Of course we do plan to eventually replace the American military currently in Iraq (or at least the majority of it) with an Arab force. But that Arab force is the Iraqi army, and the replacement is apparently going to be a slow process.
