American Police forces are a safe haven for criminals

[Garbarsardar]

It's Rummyy, the Man again:during a hearing of the Senate Armed Services Committee where he appeared with several Generals to discuss the state of Iraq and the training of their armed forces. (The Iraq forces are currently down to one battalion) Ted Kennedy said to Rummy:

"There are ''continuing reports that the Iraqi police and security forces we're training are substantially infiltrated by insurgents"

To get the instant-in your face-rebuke by Donny:

''It's a problem that's faced by police forces in every major city in our country, that criminals infiltrate and sign up to join the police force."

Woa! That's what I call Americanisation of Iraq!

I really can't wait until the first Mcdonalds or K.F.C opens up in Baghdad.

There is already a burger king, I know there is a KFC in the Gaza Strip, I know this because in the Newspapers there were pictures of Palestinian Militants holding a rally in front of it, the irony was funny, almost as funny as "Death to the West" protestors wearing Jeans, T-Shirts and sneakers...

[barbarion horde]

Funnny, these people blame all problems on the west yet they imbrace Western clothing, Hollywood movies, and technology invented in the West.

Oh the Hypocrisy.

I'm pretty sure they already have several.
US soldiers are very loyal customers.
But I doubt they have one that is open for the general Iraqi population because that would be a target for terrorists for sure.

I don't get it.
Aren't jeans, T-shirts and sneakers all made in the East? :wink:

What I find more ironic is that the US army wears made-in-China uniforms but still consideres China a potential enemy and complains when Europe sells military equipment to China.

On-topic: What Rumsfeld said was seriously funny, I wonder how the American police corps reacted.

I must disagree. In our case, the criminals are IN CHARGE of the country.

[Farnan]

There is no American Police Corps, every city's police and the state police are independent...

Erik: My point is that Jeans, T-shirts, and Sneakers are western clothing and part of Western culture, as are Western movies...

I know Farnan, I was just joking of course.
Don't you think it's funny and ironic that those "symbols of western culture" are most often made in China?
