Iraqi Government Fires Police Chiefs

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Police chiefs in two major Iraqi cities were fired Friday amid a spike in insurgent activity as U.S. and Iraqi government forces press their attacks against rebel holdouts in Fallujah, officials said.



Mosul police chief Brig. Gen. Mohammed Kheiri Barhawi was fired after rebels launched widespread attacks Thursday in Iraq (news - web sites)'s third-largest city, according to deputy Gov. Khissrou Gouran.

The United States hopes to deploy enough trained Iraqi police and National Guard troops so they can assume more security duties from the Americans, enabling Washington to consider drawing down the 142,000-strong U.S. troop presence.


However, the performance of Iraqi forces — especially the police — has been uneven, and U.S. officials acknowledge privately that training has been ineffective.

Let's just fire everybody. It worked great for Bremer.
They are still thinking like CEOs. "There employees are not
performing up to expectations" and blah blah blah.
