More bad news for the left.
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Violence in Iraq has dropped by 70 percent since the end of June, when U.S. forces completed their build-up of 30,000 extra troops to stabilize the war-torn country, the Interior Ministry said on Monday.
The ministry released the new figures as bomb blasts in Baghdad and the northern city of Mosul killed five people and six gunmen died in clashes with police in the holy Shi'ite city of Kerbala south of the Iraqi capital.
Remember this from al Reuters just 4 months ago: Iraq is on the verge of collapse: report
Just goes to show that defeatist speculation doesn't always have to be a self fulfilling prophecy.
