Nov. 18--MOSUL, Iraq -- Real power on Iraq's streets often lies in the hands of men like Sadi Ahmed Pire.
Iraqi police fled in the face of the insurgent offensive in Mosul that began last week, and only a handful of Iraqi Army troops stayed behind when their colleagues went to assist the US-led attack on Fallujah.
That's where Pire and his fighting force came in.
In name, Pire is a politician, head of the Mosul bureau of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan. In theory, the Kurdish peshmerga militia has been fully absorbed into the Iraqi National Guard.
