Iraqi refugees are returning home in dramatic numbers, concluding that security in Baghdad has been transformed. Thousands have left their refuge in Syria in recent months, according to some estimates.

The Iraqi Embassy is organising a secure mass convoy from Damascus to Baghdad on Monday for refugees who want to drive back. Embassy notices went up around the Syrian capital yesterday, offering free bus and train rides home.

Saida Zaynab, the Damascus neighbourhoods once dominated by many of the 1.5 million Iraqi refugees, is almost deserted. Apartment prices are plummeting and once-crowded shops and buses are half empty.

Oh.

But this needs to be in the MSM, and it needs to be reflected in documents such as the Brooking Institute’s ‘Iraqi Index’ (which, by the way looks to stop reporting on some data that would show very much that the tide might be turning big time).

Good news.

Where can one find out how many US troops are moved into ‘support’ or second line of defense roles and Iraqis moved to the front? Or are the US military bubbas holding that info for security reasons (which is fine, screw the media and this dumba$$ ‘people’s right to know everything’).
