Turning Over
I can tell that we'll soon be able to turn over the fighting to them:
The papers go inside with a graduation ceremony for mostly Sunni Iraqi soldiers. It was quite festive—until they were told they'd have to serve outside their home province. After that, says the Post, "some soldiers started tearing their clothes off to demonstrate their rage." Said one soldier, "We are afraid of the Shiite death squads which are found inside the Iraqi army, and who might kill us if we serve outside our province."
Anyone joining the Iraqi army is either an insurgent or crazy. Can we really expect that the U.S. military will be able to leave a stable Iraq anytime soon?
