Petraeus: Iraqi Army is an integrated force Posted by Max Bergmann

Umm... can I call bull on that one... from all accounts the security groups in Iraq are not integrated. As Brian Katulis and Ian Moss wrote in the Philly Inquirer:

The U.S. initiative to work with these new Sunni militias has undermined the goal of reconciliation between Iraq's competing factions. Since the United States started working with these irregular forces, Iraq's central government has grown increasingly suspicious of this U.S. initiative. As a consequence, the Iraqi government has been a major impediment to integrating these members into Iraq's state security structures.

From the beginning, the new Iraqi Army has been segregated at the battalion level, into Kurds, Arab Sunnis and Arab Shi'ites. (I recall reading of a single mixed battalion.) This segregation doesn't get nearly the attention it deserves, considering its political significance.

The Iraqi government with the help of U.S government has been a major impediment to integrating these members into Iraq's state security structures.

The rationale for this effort is that a well-trained, well-equipped Iraqi army can be effective in quelling the insurgency and can help smooth the process of restoring full sovereignty to a new Iraqi government.

This process is at the heart of the US and UK governments' 'exit strategy' for Iraq and it aims to eventually allow the withdrawal of their combat forces from the country. Thanks for the information on blog.
