The findings also call into question funding needs at the embassy, the largest
US delegation in the world, as the Obama administration prepares its new
spending plan for the next fiscal year.
Carol Perez, the acting assistant secretary of state, disputed the report
claiming the resources were still being used despite the lack of express
written consent.
She added that the embassy had the assurances of Adnan al-Asadi, Iraq’s
principal deputy interior minister, that the country was committed to the
training initiative.
However, Mr Al-Asadi was quoted as telling inspectors that the police training
programme was “useless”.
“[He] indicated that Iraqi police officers had expressed their opinion
that the training received to date was not beneficial,” the audit said.
Mr Al-Asadi could not be reached for comment, but a key member of the
parliament’s security oversight committee said that US training was no
longer needed.
“The Iraqi federal police went through many training courses, in many
fields, and that resulted in having many experts and specialist academies,”
Shiite politician Hakim al-Zamili said. “At this point, we don’t need
the American expertise, because of the expertise we have now.”
The US has spent about $8 billion to train and equip Iraqi police since the
2003 US-led invasion, auditors said. At that time, there were about 58,000
police in Iraq. The report said that number had grown to 412,000 by 2010.
Other estimates put the size of Iraq’s federal, local and border police
force at 650,000.
