“Sectarian terrorism is at a new and stable level, and the insurgency is gradually weakening. That’s what appears to be happening in Iraq. Whether you support the war or oppose it, it’s best to let the evidence (instead of hyperbolic media claims) influence your thinking.”

UPDATE:

An e-mail:

I note that post was from the end of August. But I seem to recall a number of stories some days later indicating that the drop-off in attacks in August was in fact chimeric, with Iraq’s Health Ministry (admittedly and interestingly run by al-Sadr’s party) and the US military offering radically different numbers. So unless Engram has a follow-up discussing that, it might not be the best post to link to.
Meanwhile, even Engram would presumably think the reports from today and yesterday about all the deaths in Baghdad is, at the least, not exactly happy talk.
