#1 can I suggest that we are getting to the point where we need more than one "tough Iraqi soldier" graphic? At least a "tough Iraqi copper" graphic to leave the above specifically for doings of the Iraqi Army (but not the police) ?

Or am I being too much the optimist?

#2 That sounds right, liberalhawk. The Iraqi Police have been making great strides towards becoming a truly professional force, as far as I can tell -- cleaning out the corrupt and inept, and aiming toward American-standard competence eventually.
