The Iraqi Army and Police

One fear I have as we embed our troops among Iraqi troops around Baghdad is the likelihood that Madi army people are in the police and the army. Bush tended to talk about these forces as if they were neutral forces that might stabilize the sectarian violence. But the army was debathified and thus heavily de-Sunnified. These forces are overwhelmingly Shiite, and some seem loyal to Al Sadr.

So do we expect them to reign in themselves? What's worse, I fear that at some point they will turn on the embedded troops!
