Do you feel safer now, than before we invaded Iraq?:
"'The DOD can't tell us how well the Iraqis perform their missions or even plan them,' he said in an interview. 'The police are in particularly bad shape, although they are critical to counterinsurgency.'
The lack of transparency is especially worrisome, the report said, because of the possibility that Iraqi forces trained and equipped by the United States have joined the insurgency or sectarian militias.
'This report details the complete lack of understanding of who we have trained and what happens to them after we train them,' Meehan said. 'Many of the forces we have trained are unaccounted for, and others are on the rolls but haven't been vetted,' he said, adding that forces 'could actually be fighting against us.'"
Just when I thought the incompetence had reached the lowest it could go, I'm reminded that there is no bottom to this pit.
