Paul Bremer says US-trained Iraqi forces are not ready to take control on June 30.

"Events of the past two weeks show that Iraq still faces security threats and needs outside help to deal with them. Early this month, the foes of democracy overran Iraqi police stations and seized public buildings in several parts of the country... Iraqi forces were unable to stop them.''

Truth is, the USA is pissed at their expensively trained recruits for failing to fire on their Muslim brothers. A whole battalian refused to take part in recent onslaughts. Others turned against the US forces. The Iraqis are probably quite capable of taking control if the US forces leave, and may well be helping them on their way soon...
