I wish it was my call. The problem with our current leadership is they are far to concerned with asking permission. It's much easier to just do it, and apologize later, if necessary.
As for the "Train the Iraqis" recommendation, that's the typical corporate leadership answer when things go to hell. Seen it far too much to not recognize a cop-out when I see one. It also lays the groundwork for shifting the blame to the trainers when the problem isn't resolved. The only thing that's going to happen is that our guys will get killed more - by the people they are training. I seem to recall that another report said the Iraqi Army and Police were eat up with bad guys, and idiots looking for a handout.
What crap!
