What an absolute farce. Having disbanded most of Iraq's police force and army etc. it would leave Iraq in absolute turmoil. Evidently in parts of (southern?) Iraq they are trying desperately to recruit police from the streets and carry out fast track training as there just aren't enough police to take over if the US and UK suddenly pull out. Surely, we owe it to the Iraqi people to stay until they have some form of stability before we up sticks and leave them to get on with it.
