Largest Iraq bombing in two years may have been inside job

"This was a really well coordinated attack on an area in Baghdad that's supposed to be well protected," Maddow told viewers. "In order to
reach their targets, the bombers driving these truck bombs had to pass through several checkpoints that were guarded by security forces and those
security forces were supposed to be using hand-held devices designed to detect explosives."
Maddow quoted a comment from Brian Katulis, a Middle East expert at the Center for American Progress, who wrote, "You don't want to do this kind of
attack without having someone on the inside. It implies infiltration of the government. If there is an objective, it's to send a message to whoever
is in power that not everyone recognizes them as being in charge."

Iraq blasts 'an inside job'
Daily Express
IRAQ’S foreign minister admitted yesterday the country’s own security forces may have colluded in the massive truck bombings in which nearly
100 people died.
If this is the case, and there are people "infiltrating" Iraq's security forces, then I really don't see how we can ever expect any of this
madness to end. I personally fail to see a point at which we could EVER leave Iraq in a state that the US government would find as an acceptable
one.
What I mean by this is, I think we need to get out now.
I would like to hear others thoughts on how they can see this alleged problem being solved in a satisfactory way that could ultimately end in Iraq
being a stable region which would allow us to gracefully "bow out".
Me, I don't care if we gracefully bow out or not. I just want us out, but I do understand the mentality that we can't just cut and run.
