Ms. Hawkmoon, what you can see from where? Your living room couch? How many Iraqis are trained, by whom and for what, how long, how often and to what effect? How are they equipped, where do their loyalties lie, how much are they getting paid? Why are the number of US troops not declining if the Iraqi security forces are in better shape than they were before? In the 'when they stand up, we'll stand down' fantasy world of Rummy and Dubyette and Hawkette, 100,000 or 200,000 or whatever Iraqi troops shoud have been 'stood up' by now so are guys and gals should be coming home... in droves. Instead, more US troops are coming into Baghdad and THIS IS AFTER the 50,000 or so troop crackdown that supposedly was going on last month. I would say that your expectations are pretty dang low. Frankly, the Iraqi 'government' whatever it is, may simply decide to kick us the heck out anyway. I wonder if, at that point in time, should it come while Dubyette is still sleeping in office, there will be a big fight between the US and the Iraqi government. It's amazing. From the analyses before the invasion we can now see that THE WORST has actually happened. Republicans have created hell-on-earth and increased the national debt by 45% and nailed the US taxpayer with a huge energy tax. Dubyette and Hawkette: mission accomplished. Aren't you just beaming with pride sweets?
