Stop Arming and Training Iraqi Secrity Forces (Rep. Lynn Woolsey)

We have invested in training the Iraqi security forces — our taxpayers have paid for it. We have no proof that our own safety here at home has been increased, and in fact it has been decreased. We are setting up a scenario where our troops will be harmed, will be killed, will be wounded by the very equipment and the very individuals we are training. That’s the worst scenario. At the very least we are training Iraqis so that their civil war will be ignited, so that they will be killing each other — for how long I don’t know.
