ABC News finds that the U.S. re-deployment of troops to Baghdad, and their placement in large numbers in the most dangerous neighborhoods, appears to be working. Preliminary reports show a significance decrease in violence. Iraqi authorities say the number of violent attacks has gone down by 30 percent. The U.S., using different calculations, says such attacks have decreased by 22 percent.
On the same note, the Washington Times quotes Army Maj. Gen. William Caldwell, who sees "life coming back to some normalcy" in Baghdad. "We are cautiously optimistic and encouraged by all the indicators that we are seeing," says General Caldwell.
We need some good news from Iraq , Kudos to our troops . . .

Glad to hear that....our troops are the best...
Is this what Kerry, Murtha et al mean by re-deployment?
Isn't that what they teach Marines and firemen alike to do? Advance on the source of the fire?
Must have killed ABC to report this.
The Democrats are deeply saddened.
It is just so hard to believe that abc actually reported some good new coming out of Iraq....bet you won't see this reported on cbs or cnn!!!!....but they will show some great shots of green helmet man!
Last weekend 20 pilgrims were killed by snipers, but last year 1000 died at the same feast.
