Did they go there with the idea to spend only 10 hours, or was the fact that mortars flying into the Green Zone dissuaded them from spending several days, inspecting the Iraqi Army, talking to American soldiers off the record. The American army has now shortened its training time to several (?) months - is 4 years enough for the Iraqi army, probably many of whom spent time in the Iraq army prior to our invasion.
