The fact is that the U.S. and Iraqi government continue to push the training of additional Iraqi combat and support troops, and are funding a dramatic growth in the capabilities in the Iraqi Security Forces. The Congress' failure to pass the Fiscal Year 2007 (FY07) Supplemental Budget is the only thing holding up the growth and training of the Iraqi military.
Hey, it may be too tough to abandon our own troops, but the Left will settle for screwing the Iraqis themselves.
And then complain that the Iraqis aren't doing enough.
Hey, it's a two-fer!
Ya gotta love Leftist nuance. When you insist the war is lost, it is best not to take any chances in contradicting your judgment by helping the Iraqis actually fight the enemy.
