"After five-plus years of fighting with the world's best trained and equipped soldiers NO progress has been made. "
Considering that most of their equipment is crap, exceping perhaps their weaponry, and tends to break down I'm not sure I would consider them the best equipped. Especially for the region. The same goes for training. It seems that for this particular kind of war the Afghans and fighters in Iraq had better training. Perhaps from dealing with the Soviets. Or maybe like Bin Laden they had personal training from some of the best in the CIA.

  If they are so well trained, why, after five-plus years, are we still training them to take over the responsibility of providing police protection for their citizens?
  Sounds to me like the Iraqi "leadership" is more interested in the gravy train of U.S. dollars than anything else.
