I cannot find the other two breaking news stories.

There was an assassination attempt on a Col in Iraq but it was stopped when our troops learned of the plot during a raid.

Also one of Saddam's bodyguards was captured who was inciting violence West of Baghdad.

Interesting. Thanks for the post.

Once again, as with the Taliban, U.S. trains these people, without thinking of the long-term consequences...

[Lion Den Dan]

We have killed far too few Iraqis.

[CROSSHIGHWAYMAN]

Sounds like the Palestinian dogs.

Time to reopen a few of Saddam's torture chambers?

Iraqi Police Coordinated Attacks

Please don't alter headlines.

Iraqi Police May Have Coordinated Attacks

[mtbopfuyn]

Confirms my thinking from the get go.

I know this get old, but those AP reporters sure can read a lot into what isn't said. The first paragraph seems to be the reporters opinion, followed by some direct quotes that say nothing about al-Quadia and only a little about some of the attacks maybe coordinated by some of the police we trained.

AP = new name for science fiction

A new phase in the Iraq war, known as Iraqi Freedom II, would begin as current forces are rotated out of Iraq and replaced by new units, including several thousand U.S. Marines, Sanchez said.

GOOD!!!

Now, the long awaited massive attack on tha Samarra Tunnel Complexes!!!

I read this interesting story on Yahoo. In credulity, I read a later posted article indicating that Saddam's home town is safe. Then in my local newspaper I'm reading where some Iraqis interviewed felt snubbed (as the press puts it) because the President didn't stay around to talk with them. Well, who gives a rat's a** how these Iraqis feel when they have Saddam loyalists infiltrated into the police force and the loyalists trying to kill any and all coalition forces. The Prez wasn't there for them. That's why Hitlery's roaming the country because she's a better substitute target. Did she visit Saddam's home town that's supposedly safe for foreigners and coalition forces?

As long as the thugs think they have a chance of running us out of the country, this crap will continue. There is no doubt in my mind that the continual harping by liberals and leftist around the world and in this country in particular, feeds the enemies' notions. We can debate the issue when the war is over. But until that time, the critics just need to shut up.

[BagCamAddict]

What is the difference between a pro-Coalition Iraqi and a pro-Saddam Baathist Iraqi?

About 40 pounds.

All the pro-Saddam Baathist Iraqis are fat. All the oppressed and persecuted Iraqis are thin.

So whenever I see a "New Iraqi Policeman" who is fat, I'm pretty sure we let another THUG slip through the cracks.

[Cicero]

I suspect that this typical AP article blows the story out of proportion for the usual propaganda purposes.

Sure, it's possible that the Iraqi police may have a few bad eggs. But there's no indication here that it's a widespread problem.

Even in America, many police forces have their share of bad eggs. That's the nature of things.

[CyberAnt]

And there's Hillary in Baghdad spouting stuff about getting more international involvement in Iraq and turning over the country to the UN. If we turn over things now we will lose Iraq .. and terrorism will have a new place to breed.

The woman is committing TREASON!

[Let's Roll]

That certainly is a surprise.

[faithincowboys]

Surprise!

I assure you those most eager to work with us our former regime SOBs. I hope this is something that can be overcomed.

God Bless Our Troops.
