Mr. Carter is correct. Iraqi troops show no will to fight for Iraq and that is because there is no Iraq, but rather only tribal, ethnic, religious and sectarian factions. Few seem to be loyal to an entity that inspires no allegiance. Many also serve for the salary. It's just a living, and that salary is enjoyed by the living, not the dead.
One can train the Iraqi army ad infinitum, but until there is an Iraq that they are willing to die for, it's all just a waste of time.
