I want us to be successful in Iraq. I'll get my own answer reading reports from as close to the scene as possible. Bill Ardolino is in Fallujah and reports on efforts to build the local police department.
--------
A dozen or so recruits had been processed by mid-morning when the insurgents attacked. Five mortar rounds were fired trying to “dial-in” the police station. Fortunately, the attackers had chosen the wrong target (the recruiting took place elsewhere) and missed the station, but a 12-year-old boy was injured and a local welder was killed by the mortars.
...
Processing continued until the early evening, when the tired Marines counted heads: 102 new recruits would board a plane for the Jordanian International Police Training Center in the morning, soon augmenting the roughly 700 police manning stations in and around Fallujah. Some had been turned away, including a 60 year-old volunteer.
