The Importance of Training Iraqi Soldiers

I had to tell my guys, we had to start working with Iraqi troops. If they can't take it over from us, then it's not going to work. And certainly we were absolutely successful in Ramadi. We converted 104,000 Sunni men that Sean McFarland started getting the Sawah or the Awakening going. I ended up having to do a brief Maliki about every other week on a Wednesday and showing him.
