Quote by: GodBlessAmerica  Iraq has to eventually do all this themselves. but part of the difficult process is weeding out the bad guys applying for Iraqi troop and police positions. Then they have to establish salary consistency, training and they need to build their self confidence against terrorist on their own.
There have been more and more reports of Iraqis rising against Al Qaeda, so it will get done despite those who want to cut and run to leave a genocide behind for terrorist to fulfill. |
I appreciate the very good points you made..... but this is an article about Afghanistan.... the other war you guys are in.
The Afghan army is having better progress then their Iraqi counterpart.... not to diss the Iraqis in this matter, their situation is a lot worse of a condition.... making it more difficult.
But the Afghan army has been helping the Canadians in a good select few of missions, I don't think it will take too long....... there's even reports of sole afghan missions sent by the government without NATO assistance, and they report the same mission information as we do.... so they're doing quite well I must say.... they just need much better equipment and more body armor.... plus a bit more training and I think they'd be very good.... they are a proud people, they've just been beaten down without a fighting chance for too long.
