I disgaree with most of your post Debbie. I have been claiming for sometime that a HUGE shift will occur in Iraq when women rise up and demand change. I don’t believe for one minute that they would be putting the resources forward to train these women (there is also a Kurdish female force) just to make it look good. The times over there are changing….slowly, but changing. I have first hand knowlege of what these women are allowed to do that they could not do before. Also, most of this is to help in searches of females. Yet, these women do not go into that unprotected. Many many many penguins have been blowing themselves up lately. These armed women are a very important strategy.

On-my-soap-box, the pic does not say or imply “baby steps.” It’s just fraud. They don’t and aren’t allowed to use the guns. Also, the prob with your “baby steps” claim is that Iraq has regressed over those few years, embracing Sharia more and more and killing and expelling more and more Christians. That won’t change, only get worse. We must be realistic about what we have now allowed to happen in Iraq. It went from being a secular state to a Shi’ite one.

Debbie,

Baby steps. A few years ago they were not even allowed a desk job.

Here's the scoop on the way Iraqi policewomen are treated and their no-gun, desk duty detail.

One other thing about this photo. As the LA Times and USA Today both reported, even though these female Iraqi police officers are trained in using guns, because of Islamic law they’re sentenced to desk duty. Hardly anything to celebrate.

Just like the purple finger photos meant nothing more than the democratic ushering in of Sharia, the completion of the Shi’ite crescent, and the Shi’ite superstate alliance with Iran, this photo is nothing to celebrate. It might be worth celebrating when she can do that in public minus that god-awful black potato sack niqab that she’s wearing.

What a beautiful sight, women of the world united against tyranny.

Definition of tyranny: Cruel and unjust use of power. (Does that remind you of our Supreme Court anyone?)

Let the lily livered liberals hide behind their pink skirts, give me camouflage green or tan any day of the week.

Should have said “For a LEO, …”

It’s amazing how many of us cringed at the sight of her improper grip.

As a LEO, the gun is simply a tool – yet an important one – that should come with proper training.

Even here in the states I’ve recently seen trained LEOs (usually who have been on the job 20+ years) using some strange-ass grips…
