re: Ted, how many weeks would you require to learn how to patrol a desert road? Do you think you would be a better patrolman after week 8 of training than you were after week 6 of training????

Is that all they are doing, "patrolling a desert road"? Are there no cities in Iraq?

Training for 8 weeks makes them slightly more than dangerous...to themselves that is. Eight weeks of training is ludicrous...that said, I want our boys home ASAP.

Excuse me.......you don't see anything wrong with "abridging" the training of Iraqi soldiers from 10 weeks to only 8 days? Never mind.

I am anxious for our soldiers to get out of Iraq but I not so stupid as to expect that 8 days is enough training for someone with no military background.

Are you an idiot or are you simply playing devil's advocate?
