Iraq Violence Dropping

Well, seems like the surge is impacting the violence in Iraq in complex ways, but its showing up in reduced violence.

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.

Very very cautious optimism, but about 15 years to go yet!

All this to be taken with a grain of piquant salt!!!
