GEN. PETRAEUS IS FULL OF IT

For this statement alone, he should be re-called and we should IMMEDIATELY begin a draw down.

From his e-mail interview with the Boston Globe:

As the security situation in an area improves, forces are required to hold the gains that we have made. Over time some of those forces can be local police units working with the Iraqi Army and Coalition Forces in Joint Security Stations.

Somebody clue him in:

The Iraqi police are worthless!

[UPDATE: The Jones Report is referring to the National Police Force, not the locals]
Just in case you might think this was just a minor slip, Petraeus continues to lie about the Anbar Awakening:

First, we have seen on-the-ground reconciliation among groups that were opposed to the government. The Anbar Awakening is the most prominent, where Sunni Arabs have turned against Al Qaeda and are now being integrated into Iraqi Security Forces.

The Anbar Sunnis have revolted ONLY because they hate Al Qaeda more than they hate us and in any case, they are NOT reconciled with the central government. (here, here, here and here)
