It's slow, grinding, frustrating work and the capacity of the Iraqi reality to derail this work is huge

Your argument is one thing I have never understood. I'm the guy who always said it shouldn't take more than 3 months to train an Iraqi to man a road checkpoint. The instruction manual is just not that many pages.

Why is training someone in civil defense, or even just police work, so difficult? It doesn't seem that tough on the rest of the planet.

The coalition troops are principally training Iraqis so we can get out of dodge. It's slow, grinding, frustrating work and the capacity of the Iraqi reality to derail this work is huge..

Plus, the training does not seem to be taking. The one Iraqi battalion that could stand alone has reversed that position and now once again requires US assistance when fighting a skirmish.
