As I said before the Pentagon didn't decide that we needed an Iraqi Army until after the Madhi uprising and the First Battle of Fallujah.

Wolfawitz admitted in his interview on the Pentagon Channel in October that up until April 2004 envisioned an Iraqi without a real Army like post war Japan.

Wolfawitz all but said in that interview that the Pentagon didn't take the insurgency seriously until after the Madhi uprising and the first Battle of Fallujah at which time they figured out there was a real problem that couldn't be dealt with by 100,000 US troops alone.
