Nouri Badran the interim Minister of Interior under Prime Minister Allawi said 100,000 police and military forces was the end goal for Baghdad.

Yes US and Iraqi combined, with increasing emphasis on IRAQI. Baghdad isn't that big. 100,000 of our guys would be a bad idea, especially since most of our issues were south and west of Baghdad itself. Don't try this path, you'll lose.
