This is what never makes sense about Iraq's security forces. We're out there doing a few days 'training' (really shortened version of 'this is how to salute' and 'point the gun this way' very basic training the US Military does in a coupla weeks) Iraqis right? What happened to Saddam's army? OK, Bremmer disbanded a million armed men but are all 1 million now on the side of the insurgents? How could they be if there are only 20,000 insurgents and 200,000 sympathizers? The numbers, the analysis make ZERO SENSE. Not only were there no WMDs, there was no army to speak of. That has to be the conclusions here. Otherwise, the US Military training Iraqis right now are thoroughly incompetent. What utter nonsense.
