American troops and commanders did not prioritize security for cultural sites around Iraq.[10] Peacekeeping was seen as a lesser job than physically fighting in combat and President Bush's suspension of former president Clinton's policies for peacekeeping not only backed up this thought but also made the US's duties to restore public order unclear.[11] American troops in Iraq didn't trust Iraqi power of any kind meaning that instead of using and training Iraqi police, the US military took matters of security and policing into their own hands.[10] Essentially the US would act as peacekeepers to train a national army and police force.
