September 11, 2007Gen Petraeus' SlidesSome good data here - I recommend 'em. They show numbers on every important aspect of the security situation. Unlike his boss and predecessors, he doesn't seem to be ignoring important data that I can think of. I'm not surprised to see the extra troops coming back; I always thought the big failing was that the troops were being held back from actually occupying or securing anything rather than troop levels. IMHO, Petraeus has been paying attention to conditions in Iraq instead of fashionable views of Iraq from the White House or Pentagon. Posted by Jon Kay at September 11, 2007 12:19 AMComments

Posted by: Maxtrue at September 11, 2007 06:56 PMSome observations about the pretty pictures. The major drop in ethno-sectarian violence in Bagdhad was already down before the surge started and so there's not much progress since the surge EFFECTIVELY began. I think the flat lines for page 12 are a little disheartening. Virtually no progress at all.
