FALLUJAH - A former general in Saddam Hussein's army will be responsible
for
security in the Iraqi city of Fallujah under a new deal reached on
Thursday.
The Fallujah Protective Army will include up to 1,100 Iraqi soldiers and
will be led by a former division commander under Saddam. It will move
into
the hotbed of anti-U.S. insurgency beginning on Friday, U.S. marine
Lt.-Col.

Why didn't the US just hire the insurgents to provide security in the
first
place?

perhaps a more 'exoteric' rather than 'esoteric' reading of machiavelli
on occupation would have 'better' served so-called straussians (both
they and ole' leo have now had their 15 minutes) in bush
administration...

on other hand, maybe they just skipped ch. 5 of 'the prince'...
