iraq: not a quagmire

Islam Online:
BAGHDAD, March 25, 2006: US Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad said on Saturday, March 25, that militias, many with strong ties to powerful Shiite leaders and well entrenched in security and police forces, are killing more Iraqis than 'terrorists,' urging Iraqi leaders to rein them in. 'More Iraqis are dying from the militia violence than from the terrorists,' he told reporters during a visit to a Baghdad youth center newly renovated with US funds, reported Reuters. 'The militias need to be under control.'
