Re: The current course is to train Iraqis to take of the defense of their own country. What part of that needs to be changed? Perhaps training them on bases, keeping our guys out of harms way. And just because many Iraqi civilians have been killed does NOT mean the Iraqi security forces are doing their job. From my sources on the ground there, they are NOT. Corruption is rampant, progress is NOT being made in training the Iraqi forces, and militias are on the rampage in Iraq killing innocent people(of differing ethnicity). This is not progress and yet every soldier who was prepped for that video-conference said only glowing things about the supposed progress we are making. NONSENSE. Bush is turning a blind eye to the negatives over there, and as a result, young men and women are dying. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.
