A military operation began two days ago to pull security together in Baghdad. Check points that look more carefully into cars are set up.
Raids were also reported or heard of in some places in Baghdad. May be not raids, but inspections. Either is good, in my opinion, because it might lead somewhere.
In our area, that needs something to be done, there is nothing yet. But we will see...
The problem with Baghdad is that it is too big. You could put 4 Maltas or 2 Bahrains, or a Hong Kong easily in Baghdad, and don't forget 7 million people, and 6-hours electricity per day in 40 C (105 F) ! As i always say: They don't call it "hot spot" for nothing!!!
