#1 Breitbart reports on same thing a few hours after the above post. AP will probably pick it up in the next few hours also.

#2 I check the iraq casualties.org every day of the week for the last several years.Of the 12 casualties alresy noted, at least five were non-combatant casualties, and the two bodies recovered from the kidnapping of two years ago, may also have been counted.As an indicator of violence, the combat casualties seem to me to be nearer to five to 7 at the outside and only one since July15.Even one of these kids is worth all the Al Quaeda mob together,but the drop off in attacks and combat deaths is wonderful,and good luck to all the Iraqis.For all practical purposes,THE WAR IS OVER...AND WE WON.After 12 years of Saddam threatening attacks, providing support for terror wherever he could,and the looming threat that he would someday have WMDs,WE WON.And every Tyrant in the world now knows, don t
mess with the USA, or prepare your burial plot.We took it to the terrorist, left them no place to stand, no place to rest to get ready for the next attack, no money to finance terror,no oil to sell,no glorious victories to pitch to the next group of idiot recruits.Thanks to our steadfast President, to all those involved for the past thirty years in trying to check the terrorists and
particularly all the brave young men and women associated with our Armed Services.

#4 However, we have to be aware that the habit is, once they've had their tails kicked, the turbans' next tactic will be to go back to waging low-level atrocities that can be maintained with very small cells. The Islamic Courts were kicked out of Somalia easily enough, but they came back.
