Iraqi security force refuses to help US general

Gen. John Abizaid, commander of all U.S. forces in the Middle East, escaped injury in a gun battle Thursday at a local headquarters of a U.S.-sponsored Iraqi security force. (...) Several attackers fired three rocket-propelled grenades, and another pelted the party with small arms fire from a nearby mosque. (...) After Abizaid left in a convoy of Humvee utility vehicles, soldiers of the 82nd Airborne's 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment asked members of the Iraqi security force to clear the mosque. But they refused. (...) Speaking in Arabic to one member of the Iraqi security force after the gunfight, the general asked about the attack and was told, "This is Fallujah. What do you expect."

So, how likely is it to transfer power to these people until july?

Wes Clark was so right, that we cant allow Bush to play politics with our national security...

I am incredibly sad, that he dropped out! :-((
