External Threats
Of course, none of what we have been talking about touches on the need the Iraqis still have for protection from external threats. They have no Air Force to speak of. They have almost no Air Assault nor medevac. They have almost no armor. It will take some time to build these capabilities. The only question is - will it be the US helping them build it or will they go elsewhere because we have screwed up our relationship so badly that they no longer want anything to do with us.
