The principal factor for improvement that people in Basra cite is the deployment of 33,000 members of the Iraqi security forces after the March 24 start of operations, which allowed the government to blanket the city with checkpoints on every major intersection and highway.

Borrowing tactics from the troop increase in Baghdad, the Iraqi forces raided militia strongholds and arrested hundreds of suspects. They also seized weapons including mortars, rocket-propelled grenades and sophisticated roadside bombs that officials say were used by Iranian-backed groups responsible for much of the violence

Planet Pepe weeps.

If Obama wins, yes. The killings will mount and Bush will be bad again.

Speaking of programs, I finally understood the Brooks stuff and am writing one.
God that was annoying.
Now back to politics: You still for Obama, AI?

That's the spirit! Let me know when you feel like it. As for Obama, of course I'm not for him -- it's just that I can't see a path to 270 electoral votes for J.-F. McCain in the Fall. May as well throw in the towel, and declare victory for Planet Pepe, no?
