i took some reporters out to the taji national depot yesterday and toured the facilities that manage all of the logistical needs of the new iraqi army. it is quite the operation.
i was actually surprised by the level of preparedness of the iraqi army having just been constituted a couple years ago. it shares many generals with the former army but now they are paid more (keeping them loyal) and have better technology and resources to secure their nation.
of course they have a long way to go but i trust that with coalition advisers giving guidance they will make their way to peace.
