Canada is considering a request to provide military instructors to help the United States train Iraqi officers but would only do so if the training took place outside their wartorn homeland, officials say.Why do you think that is? It would not have anything to do with not being able to afford the cab ride from the Airport to downtown Baghdad would it?
A spokeswoman for Defence Minister Bill Graham and a military spokesman said officials are considering the request and may be willing to provide trainers to work in a third country, such as Jordan.
"It would have to be outside of Iraq," said Isabelle Savard, Graham's chief spokeswoman.
