LOL....NnEEE! Yes, you've read my link, seen a refinement of the evaluation process described instead of statements of elaboration such as "the class 1 Iraqi battallions got killed" or "the Iraqi leaders turned on us" or "the Iraqi battalions forgot what we'd tought them, over the past few months" or...you get the idea. Instead we find the general agreeing that after answering evaluation related questions from the field, the numbers changed. As for personel, equipment, and training issues, and putting it simply so you might understand, you should be aware that long standing US army policy is to spilt out leaders and insert them into green spots (which would alter the make-up of a prior top battalion, indeed). This is all part of the progress of building an army. Blissfully un-accepting of the truths reported in my link (i.e. the Iraqi army grew stronger through the period in question), you still stand by statements wholly in contradiction to the reality such as "Since Insurgent attacks are increasing and the Iraqi Army is decreasing, I think that Cheney mis-spoke...he must have meant the Iraqi Army is in it's last throes," NnEEEE!
