Sharp drop in anti-US attacks in Iraq

http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/31CCD57E-733B-4A44-887E-318C5CEE3967.htm

The assessment came on Thursday after the first week of a huge military operation which has seen the heart of Baghdad hit from the sky for the first time since the start of the US-led invasion.

"As of now, attacks have gone down 70 percent," said Brigadier General Martin Dempsey, commander of the US 1st Armoured Division which has been conducting Operation Iron Hammer in and around the capital.

"We are working as hard as possible to keep it this way and bring it to zero," he told a Baghdad news conference.

These generals are lying.

They know this SHIT it was studied by them at the academy.

This crap is for the SHEEPLE who now have Michael to fantasize over.

They know the enemy fades into the woodwork and /or underbrush, when you attack, only to come back and fight another day.

To be certain to take what you attack, attack where the enemy cannot defend.

The place of battle must not be made known to the enemy.

If it is not known, then the enemy must prepare to defend many places
