Iraqis Begin Duty With Refusal

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...050100854.html

"The graduation of nearly 1,000 new Iraqi army soldiers in restive Anbar province took a disorderly turn Sunday when dozens of the men declared that they would refuse to serve outside their home areas, according to U.S. and Iraqi military authorities."

Looks like the plan to Iraqify the war is going about as well as Vietnamization did. About the only comment we haven't heard from bush about this war is the one about the light at the end of the tunnel.

I haven't been able to find out if this is still true - http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/meast/...iraq.security/

I wonder what the true strength of the Iraqi army really is.
