Four thousand Americans died to empower this torturer. From a brilliant Washington Post piece:

What [Col. Faisal Ismail] Zobaie wants is for the U.S. military to hand over full control of

Fallujah. He believes Iraq’s current leaders are not strong enough.

Asked whether democracy could ever bloom here, he replied: “No

democracy in Iraq. Ever.”

“When the Americans leave the city,” he said, “I’ll be tougher with the people.”

Wonderful! Another Saddam on the make. Pray tell, when will the blood, tears, and misery suffice these new models of monsters? When will the sacrifice end? God help the Iraqi people.

"Since Saddam Hussein until now, Iraq obeys only the force," [Iraqi Police Capt. Mohammed] Yousef said. "We are practicing the same old procedures."

Those four thousand lives and three trillion dollars were really worth it I see.
