#1 Sunni leaders vow to defeat terrorism in Anbar

Yeah, just like Al Sharpton declares he's going to end crack dealing.

#2 PS: Does anyone else get the feeling that if everybody in that graphic took the dirt nap all at once this world suddenly might be a better place?

#3 I am inclined to believe this. AQI has been so savage, so brutal, so indiscriminate that is has finally worn out its welcome. A lot of the Sunni hostility was political and practical, for AQI it is ideological and absolute.

Also, they probably recognize that America is not a colonial power like the British were. In short, they know that we want to reduce our troop levels and since they want that to happen as well they are willing to work with us now.

#4 ...pledged to fight terrorism and restore peace and security to Anbar province...

O.K. Enough pledges. Enough talk. Time for action. Provide intelligence about who's doing what. Time to "get er done."
