"Where are you going to be?" the Iraqi Police Lieutenant asked the Army Corporal.
"Here, we're staying here."
The Lieutenant looked at the Corporal, the Corporal looked back at the Lieutenant.
This would be the first time Iraqi police officers from the Civil Camp police station walked the beat at night without Soldiers and Marines at their side.

After my appearance last Friday on Hannity and Colmes, I've been thinking about the tape that JD has shot, and one interview he did keeps coming to mind.

The Iraqi people are famous for the hospitality, sense of humor and inability to shoot straight. But the shooting jokes may be coming to an end soon.
The Marines of the Multi-National Forces West Training Center have taken on what would seem to be an awesome task--teaching Iraqi soldiers and police officers advanced marksmanship and combat marksmanship. But the task is not as insurmountable as one would think.
