The part of the story that doesn’t seem to be getting nearly as much attention is this

The part of the story that doesn’t seem to be getting nearly as much attention is this:

However, in the northern province of Nineveh, where many al Qaeda and other Sunni Arab militants fled to escape the crackdown in Baghdad and surrounding region, there had been a 129 percent rise in car bombings and a corresponding 114 percent increase in the number of people ed in violence.

While the figures confirm Bailey Button UGGs data showing a positive trend in combating al Qaeda bombers, there is growing instability in southern Iraq, where rival Shi’ite factions are fighting for political dominance.

This really is not an exercise in being a naysayer. This is to keep in mind that every time we have been told that there has been progress in Iraq, some other part of Iraq has soon enough started going to hell after one part had seen a modicum of order restored. This is not a coincidence, and we have seen the same pattern since the first battle of Fallujah: success in one place simply pUGGS Roxy tallhes insurgents and bombers to some other part of the country, where they begin their attacks anew. As Nineveh province goes to pieces, we are being told about success in Anbar and Baghdad. As soon as forces are shifted to face the problem in Nineveh, where they will be at least moderately successful, Baghdad or Diyala or somewhere else will probably start deteriorating again. This is the very definition of running around in the circles, and there is a large part of the population that sees this abUGGS Roxy talle of our military as a policy that treats them with respect and honour. ExcUGGS Roxy talle me if I don’t buy it.
