the security of the iraqi people. you heard him say learned the lessons and avoiding bearing the load. what do you think about that? well i think there are different lessons to be learned here. you can debate whether going into iraq in 2003 was the right thing or not but it went very smoothly at the outset. what didn t go well was underestimating the challenge of providing security. when we finally ramped up and did the surge, we helped the iraqi government establish security. moreover we found the iraqi authorities alone, acting on their own, weren t sufficient to build the security forces. doing it together with the u.s. with coalition forces with the kurds that are there, with the iraqi government we were able to start things. and then you saw sunnis and shia shias and kurds working together, rebillionuilding iraq. when we pulled our forces out, that s when things went south again. we heard this week they are sending 84 anti-tank rockets.
