The article seems to bring more good news from Iraq. I'm sure the cBS et al will not carry this story. Also, I noticed that the story is dated on the third (a couple of days ago) - sorry about the wrong date on the post.

Thanks! This reads like a Pentagon briefing. *g*

The 2nd Brigade Combat Team (2BCT) of the US Army's 82nd Airborne Division is currently fulfilling this mission in the Al-Rashid district of Baghdad, an area that comprises the southern third of the city and houses 1.2-1.5 million Iraqis. Baghdad's original name, Madinat as-Salam, meant 'city of peace'. While it is hard to see when that will again ring true, troops are making real progress on the ground.
