Congresswoman Sanchez hits on the General Jones report last Fall
Posted by Max Bergmann

Congresswoman Sanchez smartly brought back the report from General Jones that was released right before Pe-Crock testified last Fall. The General found that the national police is:

85 percent Shia. It is associated with some pretty bad things that have happened in the near past. It is sectarian, and it is not trusted by certainly the other ethnicities in the country...And I believe it should be disbanded and re-tasked.

Petraeus responded saying that the national police force "are pulling their load" and that their had been substantial progress in the interior ministry. This again seems to go against what has been widely reported.
