Yep, the security situation in Iraq is improving every day and the Iraqi army and police are really standing up so that American and British forces can stand down. CNN.com is reporting that

Hours after British troops handed over a military base to Iraqi forces, hundreds of Iraqis -- some with their faces covered and wielding guns -- looted it.

No matter how you spin it, this is not a good sign. With reports like this, it's hard not to think that soon helicopters will be landing on the roof of the U.S. embassy in Baghdad to evacuate the staff while the ground floor is being looted.

Big Daddy Cheney, will you tell us the story about the Iraqi roses and kisses again?
