News accounts which suggest that this-still-to-be formed Fallujah Protection Army (FPA) will take over from the Marines, said to be evacuating "front line positions" within a few days, are only slightly less incredible than a report that Batman, the Hulk and Wolverine have joined the Navy to see the world.

I wondered about this too. News is units of the FPA are already manning checkpoints in the areas the Marines have pulled back from. A whole force pulled together (and outfitted - red berets) in less than a week? Are these former Republican Guard?
