#2 The good news is that it is to NATO standards, less that it is probably not the best NATO training.

I'm sure that parallel to these courses, the US has set up discreet facilities for serious training of senior officers, in the best tradition of WT Sherman.

It behooves our army to insure that it is burned into the brains of every Iraqi officer that we are their allies, that when you fight on our side and in our way you win, and that only a damn fool raises arms against us. Such lessons last for generations, and are the cutting blade of foreign policy.
