Baghdad offensive cuts sectarian death toll.
It was the most dramatic sign yet that a stepped-up military offensive by more than 110,000 Iraqi and U.S security forces is, at least for now, curbing the sectarian violence that has turned the city’s streets into killing fields.
There has been a relative lull in sectarian attacks since Operation Imposing Law, seen as a last-ditch attempt to avert all-out civil war, began a few days ago.
Police normally report finding between 40 and 50 bodies a day in Baghdad, but Saturday’s toll was one of the lowest since the bombing of a Shi’ite shrine in Samarra a year ago unleashed a wave of violence that has caused tens of thousands of deaths.
And the Democrats are trying to stop this!
