#1 Americans really should've studied Russian experience with their Afghan allies and Israeli experience with "Palestinian Police".

#2 Five US soldiers dead because their "defense hinged on trust?" Lovely, just phueching lovely. Ask any soldier over here how far he would trust an Iraqi policeman, or even an Iraqi soldier. I smell denial and a gross failure in leadership.

#3 See Page 1 article "U.S. forces kill 6 Iraqi police". Does not appear directly connected, but.....

Heck, I doubt even Iraqi cops and soldiers trust their "comrades". How do so many Iraqi security forces get kidnapped and killed? They have got to be thoroughly infiltrated/suborned by the enemy.

#5 Iraq's entire structure is rotten from top to bottom. I'm sure there are decent and honest fighting men scattered throughout the ranks but I wonder if there are enough so that we will ever be able to surmount the treachery that Muslims are so fond of. Personally, I doubt it. It still may have been wisest for us to simply have gone Medieval on the whole place and then built it from the ground up. I hope we have learned our lesson in nation-building.
