The backward progress of the Iraqi forces

In an article reporting that the recent assassination attempt of Iraqi Deputy PM Al-Zubaie was "an inside job" conducted by one of his bodyguards comes this revelation:
The assassination attempt, at least the third major security breach involving a top politician in four months, prompted Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki to order a government-wide security shake up, including plans to hire a foreign company to guard the Green Zone building where parliament meets, the security official said on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak with reporters.

The Iraqi forces cannot even muster enough "clean" forces to guard their own parliament building inside the green zone.

You gotta figure that the Iraqi soldiers working that duty are about as good as they've got and are also the most vetted to be able to operate inside the American controlled space.

And even they can't be trusted.
