Najaf Handed Over To Iraqi Security Forces

Well 3 down and 15 to go. It's not without it's skeptics though.

Hikma Habib, a 27-year-old policeman in Najaf, was skeptical of the handover, saying previous ceremonies handing over smaller areas of control had made little difference.

“One time I raised the Iraqi flag and we had a ceremony with the governor of Najaf present ... and now they are handing over security again,” Habib said.

“I don’t think this will be the last time, because the U.S. forces, when they want to arrest somebody, they take back control of security, and after the arrest they hand it back again to the Iraqis. It’s just a game.”


Just a thought Mr. Habib, maybe if you guys got on top of your game when it came to security, we wouldn't have to come back and take control again. Maybe if you were a little more vigilant when it came to being infiltrated by rival religious factions, you wouldn't have to deal with as much bullshit in your job. Maybe if you arrested everyone who committed a crime, not just guys of opposite factions, you would have less security problems. Just a thought.
