Are we starting to win in Iraq?
With talk of troop reductions in Iraq and the election a seeming public relations and practical success, one has to ask, are we winning? Looking at the fatality and insurgent attack rates, we can see encouraging trends. Both attacks and fatalities are down significantly from both the highs and further reduced after the elections.
