Move along...Nothing to see here. Today in Baghdad Reuters.com reports

General John Abizaid told reporters: 'I think there has been great progress on the security front in Baghdad recently. We are very optimistic that the situation will stabilize.'

Never mind that five bombs went off in Baghdad killing four people and injuring at least another twenty. And it's not only Baghdad that is seeing improvement in the security sitation.

British troops abandoned their base in Maysan province, which had been under almost nightly attack.

So sure the security situation is improving. Sure. Different general, same lie.
