Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Maliki said today that he believed Iraqi forces would be ready by next June to take full control of security in Iraq, an issue on which he pressed US President George Bush during their Amman, Jordan, summit.
In making the argument that his military and police could handle security in the country, al-Maliki has routinely said the force could do the job within six months.
“I can say that Iraqi forces will be ready, fully ready, to receive this command and to command its own forces and I can tell you that by next June our forces will be ready,” Maliki said in an interview with ABC television’s Charles Gibson.
Bush and al-Maliki agreed that the US would speed efforts to turn security over the Iraqi forces, although they mentioned no timetable during a post-summit news conference.

i think that the iraquis will be able to take care of themseleves once they get to the point they are well trained ... they won't have the leftist media to hold them back from doing what needs to be done to eradicate terrorists

Good, let's leave and be home July 4th. If they want to kill each other, let's get out of the way.

We haven't pulled out of Europe, East Asia, Korea, or Kosovo yet. But it's very important that we pull out of Iraq. And Europe, East Asia, and South Korea are all success stories.

They do, and we will.
