Some still refuse to accept that it is over
It being the greatest foreign policy disaster ever foisted on the American public, George W Bush's Private War in Iraq. And because some people won't let go, we have our Vice President "Joe Plugs" Biden in Baghdad trying to get the Iraqis to ask for US Army trainers.
Iraq’s prime minister indicated on Wednesday that he was open to the eventual return of American troops as trainers, underscoring that the United States is likely to be involved in this country’s security even after the last soldiers depart in the coming weeks.If Iraq needs trainers, let them hire themselves some Blackwater Boys. The mercenaries are mostly ex-US military so they can train on any weapons systems the Iraqis may choose. And no one cares if some mercs get blown up or shot by Iraqis.
“No doubt, the U.S. forces have a role in providing training of Iraqi forces,” said Prime Minister Nuri Kamal al-Maliki after meeting Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr., who is here to mark the withdrawal and to inaugurate a new phase in ties between the United States and Iraq...
Mr. Biden reaffirmed that the two countries would maintain a “robust security relationship,” adding that it was up to the Iraqis to decide “what you think that relationship should be.” He and Mr. Maliki agreed to set up a committee to plan security cooperation.
“We will continue our discussions with your government over the substance of our security arrangements, including areas of training, intelligence and counterterrorism,” he said.
