Al, I've read that the other complication is that you are not just training the grunts, you are also training all the officers up through the chain of command. You are essentially building a police force/army from scratch. That said, let's get the hell out, now. John

Look, I am trying to make you understand by example. Well you refuse to answer the question, and ignore my point that not all Iraqi civil defense workers need SWAP-type training, so I'll make my point clearly. Some of the jobs done by coalition forces require much less than one month of training, and manning a roadside checkpoint is probably one of those jobs. Therefore, there is no reason to be shocked that in some cases Iraqi civil defense training has been cut to 8 days. Common sense tells you the position (checkpoint staffer) of the Iraqi guy with 8 days training takes is probably much different than the position (paramilitary Iraqi SWAT force) of the Iraqi guy with 8 months. Clear?
