From Thinkprogress:
U.S. officials have stepped up training of Iraqi police militias in Anbar province to support U.S. forces. The militias are frequently “unreliable and operate with their own agendas,” critics say, and some have been implicated in attacks on U.S. forces and Iraqis. But that should come as little surprise. NPR reports that the forces “get only eight days of training and at the end of it, they get to keep their gun and their uniform.”
And the President says that we are going to win the war?? With this kind of training? Ya think?
