Despite Iraqi President Nouri al-Maliki’s insistence that Iraqi security forces are up to the challenge, many believe that Iraq’s urban areas may destabilize without U.S. support. Joining The Takeaway to to talk about the U.S. troop departure is Nazar Janabi, former Director General for defense policy in the Iraqi Ministry of Defense. Also joining the show is Professor Gary Solis, a retired U.S. Marine with 26 years experience who teaches military law at Georgetown University and taught at West Point.
