#1 It's beginning to sound like, more areas of the country are being able to be secured by the Iraq's themselves, allowing the US and some Iraq soldiers, to do what needs to be done, kill the bad guys before they kill the soldiers. I suspect this will begin to put a crimp in the terrorist agenda in the long term. I'm hoping the car bombing going on right now was all planed prior to these operations, and they will begin to die out.

As we use to say in SAC - "if you live in hope, you die in shit". The only way to stop the bombings is to do more than randomly hit the ratlines. You need a hammer and an anvil. The only way to do that is to place a blocking point in Syria and hammer them up against it from Iraq or the opposite - unlikely to occur due to the sovereignty issue. But the Iraqi's could get tire of all this horse-shit and start infiltrating and causing some major figure disappearances and disruption of the leadership via selective assainations.

#4 Border? I didn't see any border!

Where are the signs? The checkpoints? The border guards?

Are you sure the Syrian border is here? My GPS says it's 10 miles west of here. ;-p

#5 "if you live in hope, you die in shit".

A damn fine sentiment. Hell, I feel like getting up and inspecting Whitman.

#6 Could just be they heard someone was hanging out in that area and decided to check it out, just to remind the local assclowns who really runs Iraq right now.
