McCain is still making the facile assumption that Iraqi security forces and politicians will magically transform themselves into competent, honest grownups who won't tear their country in half absent a foreign occupier to stop them.

There's at least a fair chance that they would given enough time. Whether it's worth the time and effort would be a good question, but it seems to me that in, say, twenty years, they could be functional. I don't think we can say they never will.
