Default Re: American forces losing control in Iraq

I read somewhere that we're supposed to have trained 100,000 Iraqies by now but the real figure is closer to 20,000. I'll try to find the source.

From Kerry's own website:
Quote:
Last February, Secretary Rumsfeld claimed that more than 210,000 Iraqis were in uniform. Two weeks ago, he admitted that claim was off by more than 50 percent. Iraq, he said, now has 95,000 trained security forces. Neither number bears any relationship to the facts. By the administration's own minimal standards, just 5,000 soldiers have been fully trained. And of the 32,000 police now in uniform, not one has completed a 24-week field-training program.
