This is how we'll seal the win in Iraq--training Iraqis to handle the bad-guys themselves. It is amazing that only 14 months after we started this operation, we are graduating our former enemies from leader development courses as our allies.

Good to see some leadership graduate for the new Iraqi Army. AP reported on April 21st that many of the Iraqi soldiers refused to fight against other Iraqis because they lacked an example in their leadership.

"We have to take a look at the Iraqi security forces and learn why they walked."

The militia violence aggravated underlying troubles in Iraq's new military and police forces — the unfulfilled desire for "some Iraqi hierarchy in which to place their trust and confidence" and a reluctance by Iraqis to take up arms against their countrymen, said Maj. Gen. Martin Dempsey.

Now they will have a few of their own to lead them into battle against rogue militias.
