Baghdad -- The U.S.-picked Iraqi Governing Council named a 25-member Cabinet on Monday, which immediately demanded that U.S. officials tackle the spiraling violence by sealing off the nation's porous borders to foreign fighters who may have links to al Qaeda.

Kind of hard for detractors to say the Iraqis want us out of the country when they want a sizeable force patroling and PROTECTING them...

Wonder if we'll get the idea and tighten up our own borders anytime soon...

Now if we could only do that here!

We plan to wait until several thousand more of our people get blown up before we act to seal our borders.

Despite the criticism from the Iraqi's, this is good news. Their need for their own personal security will get them to provide for themselves sooner rather than later.
