The old Iraqi government no longer exists. The old Iraqi army no longer exists. They crumbled. That phase of the war is in the past. That part of the mission was accomplished.
The old Iraqi army no longer exists because the US disbanded them and let them go. One of the stupidest decisions made in the war. I believe there were around 300,000 soldiers. Do you really think they went home and are now happily supporting the US? Now we are trying to recruit them back to help in places like Fallujah.
