Uprising Cows Iraqi Cops
Thursday, April 08, 2004

BAGHDAD, Iraq — During this week's uprising, Iraqi police (search) have abandoned stations or stood by while gunmen roamed the streets, raising concerns about their role in a future Iraq.

In the southern city of Najaf (search), a policeman watched helplessly on Thursday as a pickup truck carrying a dozen heavily armed Shiite militiamen went past his police station -- already in the militia's hands.

"Look, how can we control such a situation?" he told an Associated Press reporter.

The policeman, who refused to give his name, said that if a cleric issues a religious ruling calling for it, "I will immediately leave the police service. ... We came to serve this city, but now we have become targets."

4. We let it our Evangelicals to change the Islamics to Christians and wonder
why the Mullahs are upset???


This is rapidily changing into a Holy War if not already. We seem to take this lightly, wait till the body bags escalate to 100 per day or more.

Bush has gotten us into a no win thing. The Pandoras Box is open. For us, the only way to win, is to lose.... retreat, then come back with REAL SOLUTIONS.

2. Can't empower police
bbecause as in all other occupied countries the police will side with the people if they are not out and out insurgents in disguise.
They are a charade to cover the private security guards multiplying like a virus in Iraq. The immune system is kicking in and kicking them out.

It looks like the Easter Rebellion on steroids.

3. Even the COWS in Iraq are joining the resistance?
Oh.

The policeman, who refused to give his name, said that if a cleric issues a religious ruling calling for it, "I will immediately leave the police service. ... We came to serve this city, but now we have become targets."
Hint, Hint...
