I'm sure Iraqis feel safer already

In fact, with great news like this, why wait for June 30th? Let's hand over authority right now!

About one in every 10 members of Iraq's security forces "actually worked against'' U.S. troops during the recent militia violence in Iraq, and an additional 40 percent walked off the job because of intimidation, the commander of the 1st Armored Division said Wednesday.

Just imagine 10% of the police force in your city robbing houses, and another 40% taking a permanent doughnut break. That's Iraqi police in a nutshell. What Maj. Gen. Martin Dempsey says about this is brilliant:

"We have to take a look at the Iraqi security forces and learn why they walked.''

Hey Marty! You got 68 clues yesterday!
