Iraqi Army Not Ready To Take Control

A U.S. officer who has returned from Iraq says that the Iraqi army is not ready to take over full control of military actions. Without American support he says the Iraqi army will give up and consider the effort a lost cause. For example, when an enemy attacks Iraqi soldiers they "empty their 30 magazine ammunization" quickly and shooting anywhere around the enemies. 90% of the time there is no target and it is just a waste of ammunition. This is an example that the Iraqi army is not ready for take over in their homeland. Iraqis are also horrendous at keeping track of their soldiers, American's have to do checks just to count the number of soldiers for them. If an army can't keep track of their own soldiers how can we expect them to protect a country?

One trait good about the Iraqis is they will not give up the hope of their future and will continuously fight for it.

This makes me think. I have been posting many blogs on the Iraqi War about American deaths over in Iraq and how we should be pulling out. President Bush has said he has a plan on when we are going to pull out but it seems evident that it is nowhere in the future. We will not let our entire efforts go to waste because the Iraqi army cannot take full control of their own country's security. If we did this and our effort was wasted Bush would look like even more of an idiot and he of course does not want that. So, this article tells me that we will still be in Iraq for QUITE sometime.
