There's a ways to go yet, but we ARE getting there.
If the Iraqi Forces are adequately trained and equiped, why are we still there?
From what Rumsfeld said at a recent Congressional hearing many of the ISF are merely police not Army. The Army element of the ISF is not yet of sufficient size to take over for the Coalition forces.
Well, the respondants to this poll disagree with Rummy. Who's correct here?
