Gaping Holes In Iraq's National Security (Video)

From Al Jazeera:

As US troops prepare to leave Iraq in six months time, the country will be left with no effective defence from external threats.

The army is ill-equipped, with no Iraqi pilots train to fly modern jet fighters and no missile defence system.

Iraq currently does not possess any such aircraft, and if it were to purchase such planes it would take two to three years to fill a single squadron of pilots.

Al Jazeera's Josh Rushing reports from Tikrit, Iraq.

My Comment: Of course they are not ready .... and will probably not be ready for at least a decade .... which is probably one of the reasons why some U.S. soldiers/trainers will be left behind.
