A former foreign fighter in Iraq testifies that the U.S.-backed Iraqi “police force” let Zarqawi slip right through their slippery little finger:
“While he was awaiting his mission, he says, he was told that Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the leader of a terrorist network responsible for numerous bombings and beheadings, had been captured by Iraqi police only to be let go after seven hours because they didn’t recognize him. Iraqi officials have declined to comment on previous reports that Zarqawi had been captured and let go.”
Somehow, I don’t think more money for “training” Iraqi security forces is going to solve the problem.
