The Bush Administration has deemed the creation of an |
|
effective Iraqi fighting force that is representative of |
|
Iraqi society at large as key to stabilizing Iraq and |
|
expediting the eventual withdrawal of U.S. forces. |
|
However, there is concern that sectarian killings, |
|
terrorism, and insurgency are undermining U.S. efforts to |
|
create a unified Iraqi military that can prevent internal |
|
violence from metastasizing into a larger civil war among |
|
Sunnis, Shiites, and Kurds. According to the December |
|
2006 Iraq Study Group Report, Significant questions |
|
remain about the ethnic composition and loyalties of some |
|
Iraqi units specifically, whether they will carry out |
|
missions on behalf of national goals instead of a |
|
sectarian agenda. The 110th Congress may address issues |
|
concerning the reforming of Iraq's security forces. |
