twitterLetter: Insurgents’ training going better than ours
Monday, Jan. 15, 2007 | 7:17 a.m.
It is my understanding that one of the main reasons for President Bush's "surge" is to continue to provide training for the Iraqi army and police forces so that they might eventually be able to provide for their own security. So far, it appears that we have done a pretty lousy job of this.
Here is a unique suggestion: Let's find and hire the guys who are training the insurgents - they seem to be doing a hell of a job.
Don Shirley, Las Vegas
