How is the new Iraqi Army doing in Iraq?

From what I can see, it's getting better day by day.. I certainly don't believe it's getting weaker..

But it's still not strong enough, IMO, to preserve and defend the nation from all threats, foreign and domestic.

It's certainly gotten better since US forces have been embedded into Iraqi units, and holding them accountable to accomplishing their mission and maintain professionalism.

Agreed there, but not sure if that will translate into enough of a factor to make things work. I suspect more than this is needed.

Well, that's the great thing about being flexible. If you find you need more, then your plans should be flexible enough to accomplish the mission.

Considering whether people actually believe the mission (securing Lebanese sovereignty and economic progress) is important enough.

Not much recently though.

Oh??
