Iraqi Forces Ready to Take Over Security

[ECH1969]

(Al-Mada) Laith Kubba, spokesman for Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Ja’afari, said the coming few weeks will witness the disappearance of the multilateral forces from Iraqi cities. This means Iraqi forces now are capable of dealing with security issues, he said.

Kubba also praised the stance of the Sunni Endowment and the Salafis Current Sheiks in rejecting extremism practiced by some religious groups under the banner of religion and the Sunnis. Kubba added that the government has succeeded in splitting violence from the political process, referring to the many Sunni forces that showed readiness to participate in the political process after boycotting the previous elections.

2. This is highly unlikely

Although I am sure Bush would love to withdraw to his four giant bases (or 14, depends which story you believe) and just protect the oil, all hell would bust loose in days.

BULL-FUCKING-SHIT

The disconnect from reality is truly amazing.....

4. Define "weeks"

Five o'clock Follies.

5. Well...

At least now we know what the 40,000 Iraqi troop cordon farce was was leading up to.

6. This comports with Bush's decision to surrender in Iraq

I've been predicting Bush's VEILED surrender in Iraq. Here's more proof of America's phased withdrawal from Iraq....

The Pentagon reports that U.S. troops are doing “almost nothing” to fight the Iraqi resistance and have been transferring combat duties to “under-equipped, barely trained Iraqi troops and police.” See link….

7. Maybe, they gotta do something, and soon.

Like a guy in a rough bar edging towards the door and trying to
decide if he's close enough to run for it yet.

8. That's what they told us last year.

They've got a bridge to sell you too.
