"Significant Troop Withdrawals Soon" Version #19,491
Err, not.
By the way, I know this is a moot question with the "As they stand up" mantra now discredited, but does anyone know the current status of Iraqi troop readiness? Remember the "Level 1, Level 2, Level 3" debate? Seems like a long time ago, doesn't it? The last I read, the number of Iraqi battalions capable of fighting without U.S. support had dropped from one (a grand total of about 800 troops) to none. Shortly thereafter---surprise---the Pentagon decided to classify further status reports. I guess that answers my question, eh?

Parents: Attack by Iraqi trainees was kept quiet
"A third document shows that within hours, American soldiers who had rushed to the scene after the attack had learned that the assailants were wearing Iraqi uniforms. The soldiers also had a list of missing Iraqi soldiers written in English and Arabic and were talking to a local sheik in an attempt to find them."
