#1 AQI won't be able to handle many more victories like this.

#2 The Iraqi Police seem to be reacting faster and faster to AQI bombings. This bodes well for the future.

#3 P.S. from Strategy Page:
Ten Sunni Arab terrorism suspects were arrested in Baghdad and Fallujah by Iraqi security forces. With the recent arrests of key terrorists in Baghdad, Fallujah and Basra, Iraqi and American counter-terror experts believe they will see a further decline in terrorist violence. There are still believed to be two or three major terror gangs out there, capable to carrying out several suicide bombing attacks a month. But the police are on to these outfits, something made possible by the crushing of major Sunni and Shia terror organizations in the last year.

The terrorists can still kill, but they can no longer keep the police out of entire towns or neighborhoods. The cops can go where they want, and more Iraqis feel safe in providing tips to the police. U.S. military counter-terror databases are proving useful to the Iraqi police, because many of the terrorists they are pursuing are known to the Americans as some of the "usual suspects" that U.S. troops have arrested, or identified, over the last five years.
