As U.S. forces have ratcheted up strikes against suspected insurgents in recent months, guerrillas have increasingly targeted the Iraqi police, the Civil Defense Force and other U.S.-backed security teams seen as easier targets.
Since May 1 last year, when President Bush declared major combat over in Iraq, more than 300 Iraqi policemen have been killed in shootings, bombings or suicide attacks, according to Iraq's interior ministry.Pretend Bush quote: Well at least they're not our boys!
