have we done anything right in Iraq?!

Moving backwards in Iraq
The number of Iraqi security battalions able to fight without help from American forces has shrunk, senior U.S. generals said on Thursday [...]

But just one of the 120 U.S.-trained Iraqi army and police battalions was able to operate without U.S. forces, Casey and Gen. John Abizaid, the top U.S. commander in the Middle East, told senators.

The Pentagon said in July the number was three. (Reuters)

Where before it looked like we were training one battalion a year, the truth is now revealed that we are training one battalion every three years.
