BAQOUBA, Iraq - The U.S. commander of a new offensive north of Baghdad, reclaiming insurgent territory day by day, said Sunday his Iraqi partners may be too weak to hold onto the gains. The Iraqi military does not even have enough ammunition, said Brig. Gen. Mick Bednarek: "They're not quite up to the job yet."

His counterpart south of Baghdad seemed to agree, saying U.S. troops are too few to garrison the districts newly rid of insurgents. "It can't be coalition (U.S.) forces. We have what we have. There's got to be more Iraqi security forces," said Maj. Gen. Rick Lynch.

The two commanders spoke after a deadly day for the U.S. military in Iraq. At least 12 soldiers were killed on Saturday from roadside bombings and other causes, leaving at least 31 dead for the week.

How long have we been training the Iraqi Army? How much longer do we have to wait for the Iraqi's to do their own fighting? How many more American Soldiers have to die?
All the pundits say there isn't a military solution to this war...there has to be a political solution. I don't know much, but it seems to me there needs to be a religeous solution. In a land where you are Sunnis hate Shi‘ite and Shi'ite hates Sunni just because of who they are and what they believe I don't see a political solution. It's in the hearts and souls of these people and politics won't change this - we won't change them.
