How did we vet 131,000 Iraqi troops !
I heard a reporter on Chris Matthews state that we now had more Iraqi troops than American troops? Who is vetting these new "troops"? How do we know they can be trusted? Would you trust them if you were a GI on the ground in Iraq?

Suspicions are already there that there was a mole in the shootdown of the Blackhawk a few days ago. The Commander of forces and a 2-star general were in the same formation and luckily, their Blackhawk was not hit. Was this one of those 131,000 Iraqis that was not properly vetted?

Why are they in such a hurry? Are they in a panic at the White House? This is starting to look like a disaster in the making. Someone is really making some questionable decisions. General Clark is absolutely right. It is disastrous.

3. You said it...a disaster in the making
And with the US ready to reduce troop concentration to 120,000.

This is a recipe for anarchy.
