tejek,

re:Out of 171K soldiers currently enlisted, only three thousand soldiers can stand alone without US military support. Its pretty unbelievable after all the money, time, energy and American lives lost.

Still trying to find the report itself - here's this.

defenselink.mil

Q: Is it true that only three of 28 Iraqi army battalions are now prepared to operate independently?

MR. DIRITA: I don't know. I don't know. I don't know where you got that number from.

Q: I heard it.

MR. DIRITA: I just don't know.

Thanks a lot, folks.

Thank you.

And this:

So far he hasn't been asked about the report - still listening, rather long....
