| Iraqi's Anbar province has seen a 91 percent drop in attacks on U.S. and government forces in the last year. Such declines have been continuous for the last ten months. ... There are 72,000 troops and police in Anbar (one third each for U.S. Marines, Iraqi Army and locally recruited police). There are also over 20,000 armed men in tribal militias who are now hostile to any Islamic terrorists they might encounter. And there are still al Qaeda, and other types, of Islamic terrorists in Anbar. It's expected to take another two years before all the terrorists are found and killed or arrested. By then, U.S. troops should be able to leave, and leave security to Iraqi forces. More at link. |
