Anthony Cordesman: 10 days visiting the battlefields in Iraq seeing major progress in every area
Synopsis:No one can spend some 10 days visiting the battlefields in Iraq without seeing major progress in every area. A combination of the surge, improved win and hold tactics, the tribal uprising in Anbar and other provinces, the Sadr ceasefire, and major advances in the use of IS&R have transformed the battle against Al Qaida in Iraq. If the US provides sustained support to the Iraqi government -- in security, governance, and development -- there is now a very real chance that Iraq will emerge as a secure and stable state. Looking amazingly possitive. Check out the graphics PDF, well worth it. Here Posted by: Icerigger 2008-02-15 |
