Matt's Chat

Let me send out a "Job Well Done!" to the Iraqi police. These guys have learned a lot in a short amount of time and the successes that we are seeing from these guys prove to me that bringing them in was the right move.

Mark's Remarks

Well, another story that probably will not be reported much. It is amazing that all the efforts that are thwarted are never reported, just the ones that kill people. That is not demoralizing to troops working their tails off, is it? Congratulations to the Iraqi police and to the joint efforts of them and our troops in attempting to bring peace and order to the nation of Iraq. It was a joint effort, with Iraqi police, US troops, and Iraqi weapons experts there to get the situation resolved. Way to go!
