Just the fact that 350 Iraqi's have come forard to police their communities is proof enough that the Iraqi people are behind us more than what is being reported.

No doubt. There was a time last summer/fall when just standing in line to apply to the CPA Security or Local Police Academies took balls the size of canned hams. Remember when those guys were getting slaughtered queueing up on sidewalks or riding in buses?

Like any country emerging from depotic rule, there are 10% of the populace who are liberty loving leaders, 10% who are dirtball saboteurs, and 80% who are keeping their heads down, straddling the fence and seeing who emerges among the competing 10 percenters. But the 80% are always ultimately allied with the valorous 10% when it appears safe to do so.

We're helping them get rid of the 10% scumbag element. This mission is on track for success.

I've got a story that was reported (obscurely) goes back to February or so ... One guy showed up in awful tattered clothes, and the Americans were ignoring him, but he seemed to be persistent so they brought him in. the Americans at the recruiting station asked him why he wasnt dressed decently. He replied that he was injured in a bomb blast that took place at the recruiting station several days prior, but he still wanted to join the ICDC. And he had no other change of clothes.
