Only Iraqi forces enter Sadr city. No arrests and no deaths reported ?

Iraqi's welcoming Iraqi fellow soldiers.

Seven more combat brigades to be deployed this year and will bring to 15 the number of Iraqi combat brigades by 2009.


US deaths are running 1/3 the # killed last month....

Iraqi civilian deaths last month was 631
So far in May the # of civilian deaths 285

The results of the Iraqi armysurge into Sadr city won't be known for another several weeks but it looks like the decline since March will continue. Maybe by the end of June the #'s would indicate weather the Iraqi's can stand on their own without leaning heavy on the US crutch.

imo, Obama would see these trends as positive.
