Bremer: Iraqi security forces i
ready to face insurgents alom
:c
By Lee Keath
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BAGHDAD, Iraq — Iraqi
security forces will not be ready
to protect the country against
insurgents by the June 30 han
dover of power, the top U.S.
administrator said Sunday — an
assessment aimed at defending
the continued heavy presence of
U.S. troops here even after an
Iraqi government takes over.
The unusually blunt com
ments from L. Paul Bremer
came amid a weekend of new
fighting that pushed the death
toll for U.S. troops in April to
99, already the record for a sin
gle-month in Iraq and approach
ing the number killed during the
invasion that toppled Saddam
Hussein last year.
The military had always
planned to remain after June 30,
when the U.S. is to handover
sovereignty to Iraq. In recent
months coalition officials
acknowledged the transfer of
security will he significantly
slower than hoped because Iraqi
forces were not prepared.
But Bremer said the fighting
across the country this month
exposed the depth of the prob
lems inside the security forces.
“Events of the past two
weeks show that Iraq still faces
security threats and needs out
side help to deal with them.
Early this month, the foes of
democracy overran Iraqi police
stations and seized public build
ings in several parts of the coun-

soldiers were killed in Diwaniyah.
Another died when a roadside

a Marine was killed in separate
fighting in western Iraq.

try.” he said. “Iraqi forces were
unable to stop them."
“It is clear that Iraqi forces
will not be able, on their own, to
deal with these threats by June
30 when an Iraqi government
assumes sovereignty.” Bremer
said in a statement issued by the
U.S. coalition.
With U.S.-led forces fighting
on two fronts and insurgent vio
lence Baring elsewhere, at least
99 U.S. troops have been killed in
combat since April I. In the latest
violence, five Marines and five
soldiers were killed Saturday.

Report: Dallas
at tipping point
DALLAS (AP) — Surging crime, weak schools, job loss and
civic leaders who seem not to notice the compounding problems
have plunged “the city that works" into a crisis that can only be
reversed by bold shifts in strategy, structure and services, accord
ing to a report by The Dallas Morning News published Sunday.
Dallas — lulled by past successes, cushioned by North Texas’
robust growth, blinded by a lack of self-examination and hobbled
by a legacy of racism and neglect — is at a tipping point, where
wrong moves could precipitate decline, the News concluded,
based on a far-reaching statistical comparison of Dallas and 14
other large U.S. cities by Booz Allen Hamilton.
“Dallas does not see itself as a city in crisis ... But the data
indicate that Dallas is a city in crisis.” the firm concluded.
The Booz Allen study, commissioned by the News, used
dozens of measures — from life expectancy to library visits —
to produce a comprehensive picture of each city’s perfonnance.
Among the 14 peer cities, only three have worse violent crime
rates, only four have lower student SAT scores, and none saw less
economic expansion in the 1990s.
By those three measures — which are Dallas residents’ top
concerns — Dallas ranks No. 12 among the 15 cities.
The study showed that crime and troubled schools have driv
en families to Dallas’ suburbs, leading employers to follow, caus
ing the city’s tax base and budget to shrink.
Some city leaders denied the study’s conclusions while others
fell back on habitual remedies.
