Iraqi Police bolster strength in Ramadi
Story by Spc. Rick Rzepka
124th Mobile Public Affairs Detachment
The men left their homes to train as Iraqi Police officers in early February. For weeks they trained at the Jordan International Training Center to hone their skills as policemen in the volatile city of Ramadi. The basic police training program is designed to provide fundamental and democratic policing skills based on international human rights standards to the students, in preparation for assuming police officer responsibilities.
The program consists of four weeks of general policing and four weeks of tactical police training. To date, more than 11,500 police officers have completed the course which is taught by police trainers from Iraq, Jordan, Canada, Sweden, Slovenia, Austria, Finland, Czech Republic, Singapore, Poland, Slovakia, Australia, Hungary, Belgium, United Kingdom and United States.
"The men of Ramadi need to take care of their city," said one new officer as he stepped off the bus. "If we don’t stand up against the insurgents, who will?" he said, adding his family encouraged him to become a police officer.
The Al Anbar Provincial Police Chief, Gen. Sha'aban Muhammed Samier, stressed the importance of establishing a strong Iraqi Police presence in Ramadi. The IPs must be successful in order to ensure the safety of Ramdi's young, elderly, women and families, he said.
The Sons of Anbar are the second group of trained officers to return to the city's neighborhoods. In the coming days, the graduates will be measured for uniforms and boots and will receive their body armor and weapons. Here they will also continue to train on patrolling the streets of Ramadi.
Interesting bit at the BNP site on the July 7 terrorist bombings. From the site:
The key plotters behind the July 7th 2005 London bombings planned to trap and drown tens of thousands of innocent people, the BNP can exclusively reveal. A team of terrorists with a fifth bomb – intended to explode in the tube network directly under the River Thames – was arrested the night before.
The arrests were made when uniformed officers in police patrol cars stopped the terror gang, apparently by fortunate accident. Within minutes of their notifying their superiors they were ‘swamped’ by plain-clothes police, Special Branch and/or MI5 officers and the whole affair was taken out of their hands. They were ordered to tell no-one about the incident and several who have since tried to find out what happened to the small group of Islamics they arrested have been unable to do so. The men have vanished without trace.
The uniformed officers who prevented the atrocity are so deeply shocked by the Government and top security services cover-up – which maintains that the 7/7 bombings were carried out by a small independent cell of home-grown radicals with no overseas links or big ambitions – that one of them has come forward to tell us what really happened.
Not surprisingly, this has been done on condition of strict anonymity, so we can say nothing more about the source of the story, except that we are convinced that it is totally genuine. It is for mainstream journalists with greater resources and contacts than us to take up the investigation and find out more. link to the rest of the story
Maybe George Orwell was right when he was thinking up the idea of "newspeak" in 1984.
BERLIN (Reuters) - The European Union, tiptoeing through a minefield of religious and cultural sensitivities, is discreetly reviewing the language it uses to describe terrorists who claim to act in the name of Islam.
EU officials are working on what they call a "lexicon" for public communication on terrorism and Islam, designed to make clear that there is nothing in the religion to justify outrages like the September 11 attacks or the bombings of Madrid and London.
The lexicon would set down guidelines for EU officials and politicians. EU decide that dhmmi speak is the way forward
Fishing - A Racist Sport: Ever the one for finding new ways of spending our tax money the Environment Agency - like all the government agencies and quangos who have way to much tax payers money to waste, is going to spread the message about fishing to ethnic groups and women. According to the government its a pastime that is too male, too white and too middle class. Angling now all inclusive - no longer the domain of Ayrian white men.
Gordon "Cyclops" Brown, now yes I have been known to throw some abuse at him and yes I am again. After all the one eye'd bastard deserves it. This is the socialist who claims to support the poor and the oppressed, yet does not a thing for the pensioners in this nation in his last budget. All the while the hospitals over here have a cash crisis, yet our Gordon has his eye on the so called African education crisis and pours over 8 and a half billion pounds of our tax money over the next decade to educate them.
Well cheers Gordon you Scottish cunt, your lack of fiscal ability leads to pensioners living in poverty and dread of the poll tax bill dropping on the door map, that is if they dont drop dead due to their operation being cancelled yet again due to constant cuts in jobs at the local hospital yet you can find money for African children but not our own war veterans who fought for the nation.
Then we have a large numbers of feral children who if they bother to go to school at all end up leaving with no ability to read or write, yet you are going to give our money to people who have no ties to this nation. Why not invest in our schools? Why not repair some of the falling apart school buildings? Or some more books? Or maybe you have your good eye on No.10 and a photoshoot with OAP terrorist Nelson Mandela. And this man wants to be PM, god help us!
Finally a bit on the two American hostages in Iraq. Not much has been reported over here on this, least of all on our state broadcaster El Beeb. I was reminded of this when I was looking at the my pet jawa site. The wife of American hostage Jeffrey Ake has spoken out for the first time since her husband was taken hostage in Iraq a year ago today. Jeffrey Ake is one of two Americans still being held hostage in Iraq. Dean Sadek, also held hostage, was kidnapped in November 2004.
