Remember how ‘large’ the Al Qaeda threat is supposed to be in Iraq, and therefore we must stay to fight them?
And how U.S. ’sources’ earlier reported that Al-Qaeda planned on increasing the violence during Ramadan?

But, instead, the violence decreased - by a whopping 40%.

Doesn’t appear as if the US report was accurate- at all.
And that the ‘Al-Qaeda plan’ of violence worked about as great as ‘Bush’s plan’ for success.

Hmmm.

Oh, and about that shining beacon of hope Bush and Petreus call ‘Anbar’?

5 more of our solders just died -all in Anbar.

Well put. It’s so nice to hear some good news (even if it’s only good in a relative sense), but sadness isn’t eliminated.
