Sort of stabilizing?

Interesting development in Mosul. Money and amnesty for turning in guns? It sounds like an operation you would hear about in a US urban area then one you'd hear about in a war zone. Props for getting creative and not just blowing stuff up.

With the Sahwa, this Mosul operation, the Basra operation, operations in Sadr city (and while not a clear victory for any party involved, at least it was not a Hizbollah style realization of who really has the power), the Sunni blocs coming back into the government, the Iraqi government operating openly against Jaish al-Mahdi interests...

Dare I say it... Iraq might be starting to come around a little bit.

Still miles to go though.
