Finally the main stream media has admitted that the surge in Iraq is working.
No major sectarian-related displacement of people has occurred over the past three months as violence between Sunnis and Shias is ebbing in this war-battered country, the Iraqi Ministry of Displacement and Migration said on 3 November. "We did not register any large-scale displacement nationwide over the past three months that related to sectarian violence except for a few individual cases in some areas of Baghdad and other provinces," Sattar Nawroz, spokesman for the ministry, said.
"But this doesn't mean that the security of these families is related only to the presence of troops in their neighborhoods as local councils, which are led by chieftains and dignitaries, will keep protecting them after the troops pull out," he added, referring to the tribal "Awakening Councils" which have been formed to fight Sunni and Shia extremists.
Finally an admission that things are starting to turn around in quelling the violence in Iraq. It only took them several months to do so. And the admission that the troops weren't the only reason is further proof that our tactics are working. We're engaging the locals and showing them what insurgents are capable of. They don't like it, and now they are working closely with us and within themselves to make their homes a safer place to be.
