Training of the Iraqi forces comes fairly late on the list of accomplishments, which seems to reflect some sense of reality . . . he acknowledges they're not fully capable or independent, which is good.
To complete mission, we'll:
- hunt down insurgents

He's emphasizing foreign contributions to the training effort . . . today Kerry referenced some contributions we've turned down.
3 new steps
- partnering coalition and Iraqi units - this does not sound new at all since the Iraqis haven't been able to operate effectively on their own
- embedding coalition "transition teams" inside Iraqi units - sounds a lot like #1
- working with interior and defense ministries on anti-terror operations - we've been in the ministries (essentially running many of them) since the occupation began. again, curious what's new here.
