"Iraqi soldiers, yes! American soldiers, yes! Police, no!"
Cheeburger, cheeburger, Pepsi, Pepsi, cheeburger!
Seriously, good reporting from Mr. Bing West at the above link.
Note the following from an American officer at the end of the piece:
"We're not in a kinetic war here in south Baghdad. We're detectives. We get to know the community and make arrests, just like police.
Wow... we're not in a kinetic war there. It looks like it's somewhere between a Level I and Level II insurgency. In Baghdad. The article also indicates that the Iraqi Army easily has the upper hand over the Sadr militia.
Wow, you wouldn't get that impression from reading the newspapers, would you?

The quote you use to title this post says a helluva lot about how far the Iraqi Army has come. Unfortunately, is says a helluva lot about how far the police have to go.
