General says Iraqis aren't ready to support their own fighter aircraft
Lt. Gen. Walter E. Buchanan, commander of U.S. Air Forces, Central Command, said the Iraqi air force is not ready to have their own fighter aircraft.
What the Iraqis lacked is the logistical capabilities to support fighters. The Iraqi Air Force will eventually have light attack capabilities but there are no plans to give the Iraqis MiGs or Mirages, he said.
