Long Overdue

The Baghdad security operation has been under way less than three weeks, but it has already registered a success: a sharp drop in the number of bullet-riddled bodies found in the streets - victims of sectarian death squads.

The number of bodies found so far this month in Baghdad - most of them shot and showing signs of torture - has dropped by nearly 50 percent to 494 as of Monday night, compared with 954 in January and 1,222 in December, according to figures compiled by The Associated Press.

Iraqi Officials Say Crackdown Working

They should have done this kind of stuff years ago. It’s not impossible to control this anarchy despite what some people think It takes will and a concerted effort. Now, it seems, they are doing that. But they only started doing it when teh Dems threatened to pull the plug on Iraq. I guess the Dems were useful after all. 

And yet we still get the usual doom and gloom stories about the iraq war not working from MSM because of the fact that there are still bodies being found.

I guess the US is a failure at home, too, because bodies are found all the time here.

Uhm, gee, it had nothing to do with the change in strategy that was announced the first week of January?

Yeah, after the Republicans lost the election, the Bush admin decides to get serious. I feel they should have done that three years ago.

But at least they’re doing it now.

One of my problems with Bush is he only seems to get motivated when something lights a fire under his ass. In that regard he reminds me of his dad.
