"Here it seems they had the training to stand and fight," said Capt. Andy Deponai, whose tank was hit by a rocket-propelled grenade during the firefight Sunday in Samarra, north of Baghdad."

I just hope we didn't train them. I tend to think that many of our Iraqi brothers in Arms (in the police and the newly formed army) are working againdt us. Hopefully, we have ID'd them. If any of the jerks we blew away were our "friends," I hope we take note and develop a new vetting system.

The vetting system is not perfect and was rushed. But overall, I think we are doing fine. I'd bet in a few months that the precentage of jerks being employed in the Iraqi police and armies will be no worse than the ones in the United States.

We have some worthless cops and soldiers too.

We should give all of the new recruits 'immunizations'.

The final shot will be one of those subcutaneous veterinary id chips. Then we'll know who is doing what.
