U.S. Forces to Wrap Themselves Around Iraqi Force to Curb Militias
US forces aim to bring Iraq police under control

http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory?id=1452523

BAGHDAD- Dec 29, 2005 (Reuters) - The U.S. army in Baghdad plans to deploy large numbers of troops with Iraqi special police units to try to curb suspected sectarian militia activity among the police, a senior U.S. military official said on Thursday.

"We're going to try to wrap ourselves around them," the official told reporters, speaking on condition of anonymity.

"The lines are blurred now and it's not easy to determine that some operation tonight was directed … by the MoI (Interior Ministry) or … by some people in uniform … who are part of somebody's posse," he said.

"We're trying to control that."



So, we will insert our foreign troops into these Iraqi army units to un-blur the 'lines'. Now Iraqis can be certain that all of the Iraqi army's deadly raids are, in fact, part and parcel of Bush's scheme to suppress opposition to the new government. Know your oppressor.
