Oh I see. Well, if you look at the capacity of the training facilities, say 3,000 could be trained at one time. I would expect that most would be "home" wherever that would be for them. BTW, a few weeks in a camp is nothing like the training they get from a real battlefield environment. The way things are in Iraq, it is as if we set up this massive scale training facility for them ourselves. Iraq, as a training camp, is a magnet for developing a broader regional insurgency. One war begets another.

BTW, here is somebody else who, like me, is outrageous enough to use the term "unilateral" in its proper usage: "Sharon, who initially proposed his Gaza plan as a unilateral act, has said he would coordinate the pullout with Abbas if there is a crackdown on militants." If he coordinates plans with Abbas he is not acting unilaterally. Abbas is on the 'other' side. However if he does not coordinate plans with Abbas then he is acting unilaterally. If he did not negotiate plans with Abbas but instead asked for US and British and military cooperation and assistance in the withdrawal (name your favorite Israeli 'coalition partners'), the withdrawal would still be a unilateral act as these coalition partners would be acting on the one side, the Israeli side, and there would be nobody on the 'other' side.. story.news.yahoo.com
