News from the land of the two rivers

Interesting news out of Sadr City for the last few days. ISF welcomed in Sadr City. Good news for the potential upside of the COIN effort. It happened quick. Maybe the Basra debacle is in the past. The truce between JAM and Iraqi government is holding. If true, excellent news.

Good news in Mosul. I wouldn't say expected, but with AQM decidedly out of favor, not surprising.

UPDATE:
News out of Basra. It's peaceful, as long as the ISF is there.

Excellent view on the Sahwa movements.
