More bad news for the anti-war left
Of course, bad news for the Left = good news in Iraq. This is going to leave a mark on some liberal loony’s anti-war rant:
U.S. reports ‘phenomenal’ drop in Iraq violence
Violence in Iraq has fallen at a rate that has surprised military commanders and even one of the architects of the “surge” that boosted US troop numbers in the country this year, according to figures gathered by the US.
The figures show the numbers of suicide attacks, roadside bombings, mortar and other attacks on US forces and on the Iraqi population have more than halved since 30,000 extra troops in June.
The military attributes the decline to the surge, the spread of local ceasefire deals across Iraq, a ceasefire by radical Shia militias and an improvement in the Iraqi security forces.
