FUBAR

Hmmm. Today's NY Times tells us that an independent commission that was asked to study the Iraqi police force has concluded that the entire force should be scrapped and rebuilt from scratch. Now, let's see. We started building this police force in 2003. That's four years ago. So, I suppose maybe we could get back to where we are now by 2011 or so if we followed this advice. Of course, we'd have 26,000 armed and (more or less) trained ex-policemen fighting us by then along with everybody else.

When will we finally conclude that in Iraq things are FUBAR?
