This time last year Anbar had no real police force, most of Ramadi was under the control of al-Qaeda, and Iraqi Army units refused deployment to Ramadi. In the past year sheik Sattar has created an Iraqi police force in Anbar that is according to US commanders the best police force in all of Iraq.

What has been accomplished in Ramadi is absolutely incredible. A template for future progress.
Of course our accomplishments there, the successes there by both U.S. and Iraqis goes completely unreported (purposely so) by the MSM.

How about some YouTube roving reporters cornering some of the pressies and asking them what they know about Ramadi and why are they such ignorant boobs? It's time they had some cameras in their faces.

Checked Google news for Ramadi+Police and this story from WTOC was the only thing that popped up other than a mildly positive article on BBC that mentioned things are "improved" from a year ago in Ramadi. If I had a billion dollars, I'd start my own AP: Just the Facts.

Have we reached the tipping point? The signs seem to indicate this.

Thanks for sharing the good news. Guess we will have to let the MSM know about it.

I am sickened by the constant bombardment of negativism our media provides.
This is good news but it's useless without coverage here at home.
