Has the military changed priority away from training the ISF, as reported? No, says Bill Roggio. The military hasn't changed its priorities.
The decrease in the training of the Iraqi Security Forces Youssef is detecting is the first effect of delaying the FY07 supplemental budget. The money to train the Iraqi units has dried up.The military's leadership has mentioned this fact to Congress four times now, according to Bill's report -- a highly unusual move, given that the military rarely involves itself in matters that are in dispute between the legislative and executive branches.
The military's priorities are what they were. What are the politicians' priorities?
