BBC (early Thursday): US plans Iraqi paramilitary force

Dated Thursday December 4 00:50 GMT (Wednesday 4:50 pm PST)

US plans Iraqi paramilitary force

The US-led administration in Iraq is planning a paramilitary force to fight insurgents, composed of members of the main parties in the interim council.
The new battalion - part of the Iraqi Civil Defence Corps - will have up to 850 militiamen, who will work with US special forces in and around Baghdad.
Correspondents say the new force will give the party leaders an increased role in Iraq's internal security.
The US-led forces are anxious to quell the insurgency amid daily attacks.

Somehow, I think it will take more than 850 militiamen to take on the Iraqi resistance.

4. I was wondering

When they were going to have the Bush Fedayeen? I'm sure there are still a lot of those snappy, ninja-like outfits lying around.
