Things change, and things grow, and situations alter over time.

Yeah, whatever. My point is, as late as last September, we were still playing "Whack-a-Mole" with the insurgents in Iraq. We'd suppress or drive them out of one city and they'd rise up in another.

Now, though? When's the last time you heard of an attack anywhere outside of Baghdad?

I would love if someone could do a little research to either prove or disprove this (I may do it myself when I find the time):

The scope of attacks in Iraq is significantly down. The insurgency is now contained in smaller and well-defined areas, mainly Baghdad and its surrounding suburbs.
