Thanks for the insight . That post about us destabilizing the ME just kills me! Yeah, the ME was just a bastion of law and order before we took out the tyrant Saddam.
Why does it take 13 weeks to make a U.S. Marine and a seemingly infinite amount of time to train an Iraqi military force? When we honestly answer that question, we'll realize what we're up against.

That's really been the answer all along. Give the Shiites a piece, the Sunnis a piece and the Kurds a piece. Call it a victory and come home.Best to break it up into three separate nations now...
It seems to me that a security company in Iraq would be better prepared to defend itself from attack. Considering that a war is still in progress and that guerilla warfare is the battle du jour, I would expect better security from a security company. I didn't read about any armed resistance.
The Germany analogies are fundementally flawed. The German people knew what it was like to have some semblance of freedom, and the majority of them wanted it back. The Iraq people do not know freedom nor do they want any part of it. They are just waiting for us to leave so that they can put themselves back into the comforting embrace of their shackles.
