'The number of violent civilian and military deaths in Iraq has continued to drop, according to recent statistics from a number of sources.
There is no single reliable source but a number of groups agreed on a marked improvement, generally attributed to the US and Iraqi troop surge in and around Baghdad that began in February. '

After having invested so much psychological capital in America losing in Iraq and it being a second Vietnam, the BBC is having a tough time relating the mountain of evidence that the various insurgencies are in a terminally late stage of losing. The BBC can't bring itselft to own up to the fact that much of what has been related from this theatre has been crap, either the simple parroting of Al-Qaeda/Sunni propaganda, or Green Zone seen-from-afar guesswork. Because they have willed US defeat, they are really having trouble getting their heads around US victory. Well, get used to it people.
