This should make all Iraqis proud:
FALLUJAH, Iraq — Insurgents here staged simultaneous morning assaults on three police stations, a civil defense base and the mayor’s office Saturday in what one Iraqi military leader called a “well-coordinated and well-financed attack.”
…
Officers from the 82nd Airborne Division stationed a 10-minute drive away could hear the battle clearly. They offered help but Hammad [the Iraqi Civil Defence Force battalion commander] said it wasn’t needed. The Americans did provide additional ammunition and weapons, including light machine guns.
As Wretchard says: “When dying and bleeding, beset by the flower of terrorism, with pistol to set against automatic rifle and grenade, the Iraqi police did not ask for help from 82nd Airborne. They asked for ammunition.”
