Hi STARWISE! This week? Baghdad has been so quiet, it's hard to believe this is a war zone.
The only noise I've heard was a distant firefight in the western part of town where 14 Mahdi Army scum went to meet their 72 virgins a couple of days ago. Oh, and a car bomb in town that failed to kill anybody except the idiot driving it.
This is no coincidence. This place is claming down.
Now Ramadan begins late next week and we are prepared for some fireworks during that time, as usual.
But the daily explosions, mortars and rockets we were getting for a few months just aren't happening now.
I pray that this holds and that this is the beginning of the end of it.
Very glad to hear it.

As do I. Now if we can just get those idiot reporters out of the Green Zone bars and get them to report on the progress in the rest of the country. Fat chance of that happening, though.
Maybe Michael Yon can invite somebody from the AP along on his next trip.
This place is claming down.
Excellent. Coupled with the captured AQ documents bemoaning the loss of Anbar and other places things are beginning to look up. I hear our guys are really putting the sqeeze on the Iranian scum that's oozed over the border lately, too.
In any event, I'm glad things are quiet for you. It'd be a shame to muss those new socks running for a shelter.
Take care,

The up and coming lowdown speech by General Petraeus will show more color in the agenda of the DNC when they rebut the good news and attempt to make it appear bad.
Good to hear ... oh ... Ramadan. There’s typically trouble for that, isn’t there?
Are you hearing Allawi rumors ramping up?
My prayers join with you, sweetie. Stay safe .. God bless. This is by far the most complex and maze-like military effort ... God bless and protect EVERYone on the side of good. (I still wanna see that twisted Mook ... g o n e.)
