Or are we there forever? If they can be trained, how long will it take, and what is needed?

I posted this a few minutes ago and rather than redoing it, I copies and pasted!
We pull out of Iraq when our military commanders deem that the Iraqi government, it's troops that we are training and the police force can stand on it's own. If their past performance, over the last year, is any indication, I see no reason we cannot be gone from there sometime in the next two years. Little by little sector control have been turned over to them and they have handled it fine. When it comes to freedom money and lives are inconsequential, how soon people forget. And I say this as being a father of one of those troops that have been there for two years (every calendar year since the beginning). I have posted this several times on the loss of life. Though we do not want to lose any, and several of those lost we dear friends of mine, what we have lost there is infinitesimal compared to other freedom engagements. Look at Iwo Jima at 7,000 Marines and 30,000 Japanese lost in 30 days, or the battle at Stalingrad wherein some 5 million Russians and Germans dies in a year. We have become a fast food, fast fix it society and it doesn't work that way. If you want to save money stop foreign aide at $480 Billion a year. Freedom is...whatever it takes!

at the start - they have been Neoconservatives. Neoconservatives are not even Conservatives. They have been liberal warhawks interior the 70s (lots of whom promoted the Vietnam conflict) and altered ideologies while risk stroke. Secondly - authentic Conservatism (no longer Federalism of the North, that's 'outdated Republicanism) is very like Jacksonian Republicanism which potential a) the government would not intervene with inner maximum affairs, and b) the uncomplicated financial being is supported (see Charles River Bridge Case below chief Justice Taney; it potential they're professional-lasseiz-faire). additionally, a genuine 'Republican' could be by definition resembling Coolidge, or the Progressives of the early 1900s. what's alluring is of all political events in us of a history, the Republican party remains the main distinctive events - actually a coalition of smaller events - interior the rustic.

As long as we give them protection without end, they never will. If we tell them "getyourshittogether we're leaving Mar. 08" then they will either have to be ready or be willing to accept an over throw. If democracy is meaningless to them then let them get what they deserve. if it is worth something let the payment be in Iraqi blood not American. Either way, we should move to disengage so no more good soldiers have to die for Iraqi freedom.

no, we enjoy wasting time
Yes, they can and are being trained. Time is needed. Not that it will take this long but it takes 20 some years to educate (sometimes indoctrinate) our children before they can leave the house.

The answer is yes, if given the time. What would keep them from being able to?

Yes I do and the fact that there is voluminous evidence supporting my opinion I'd say we're doing a prety good of it.
