I don't think the US should be trusting the Iraqis yet with training and weapons. There have already been instances where Iraqi policemen have taken part in attacks on US troops, or have given cover to terrorists.

I disagree. We have already accomplished our mission. We overthrew the Bathist regime. Right now, we are simply acting as policemen. I don't really care what sort of government eventually comes about in Iraq. We need to pull all of our troops back to 1 large AirBase, and 1 large Army Barraks in the desert, and let the Iraqis police themselves. I really don't want our guys getting killed protecting Iraqis.
