>The sooner the US can train 100k Iraqi policemen and leave, the better. 100K? We can't police the place with almost twice that, and we're heavily armed! I think the Iraqis would need more like 500K, and that ain't happening. >Training Iraqi policement shouldn't take more than two months It takes longer than that to train American policemen in the States, and the U.S. isn't a war zone! >As for the lunatics that are fighting the interim Iraqi government, let the Iraqis fight them. Say hello to the Iraqi civil war, then. -Z

Elroy, Once the American force is out of the country, the "insurgents" have zero idealogical feet to stand on, and will either get captured or fade back into Iraqi society. Training Iraqi policement shouldn't take more than two months, so the US should be able to leave in 6 months. As for the lunatics that are fighting the interim Iraqi government, let the Iraqis fight them. I guess that is the idea, but I think 6 months may be a little optimistic. I think we will probably still be in Iraq a year from now, but probably with half of the force we have today. Joe
