Iraqis unable to defend their borders as US exits

By The Associated Press

BAGHDAD - After billions of dollars and nearly nine years of training,
American troops are leaving behind an Iraqi security force arguably capable
of providing internal security but unprepared to defend the nation against
foreign threats at a time of rising tensions throughout the Middle East.

Building up an Iraqi military and police able to protect the country became
a key goal of the United States and its allies after they defeated and then
disbanded the Saddam Hussein-era force in 2003. As America's role in Iraq
fades, the results appear at best incomplete.
Iraqi forces - currently about 700,000 strong - have been largely
responsible for security in Baghdad and other cities since 2009, carrying
out their own raids and other combat operations against insurgents.
