Iraqi Police Are "Very Capable" At Law Enforcement

A little more good news out of Iraq. We often hear that the Iraqi army is improving, but isn't quite ready to take over yet. There is a different story when we hear about the Iraqi police force. They are coming along nicely.

American Forces Press Service:

"I believe the Iraqi police are getting very capable in handling the law enforcement type mission and traffic mission. The problem you have is ... that there's a lot of terrorists and insurgents who want to see them fail," Brig. Gen. Phillips said, speaking to online journalists from Baghdad.

He went on to say that they can function in a normal law enforcement capacity a lot better than two years ago, and they are having great success in the 75% of Iraq that is under control.
