No, it's not a good sign. But at least those 20 stayed. They will be the leaders of any new Iraqi army.

About 2,000 soldiers of the newly formed Iraqi Civil Defense Corps, who were paid by Marines last weekend, were supposed to help the 2,000-some Marines with a massive cordon of war-torn Fallujah this week.

Thats 20 of the 2000. What are the 1980 others with AK47s and money doing?

Each time we fight, and they see we won't leave, more will stay. It may take a time to "unlearn" old expectations.

Any bets that the 20 that stayed were Kurds?
