I heard on CBS radio news that Iraq southern area will soon be taken over completely by Iraqi troops and police so that the British and Japanese forces can move elsewhere for further support elsewhere. Have you?

I haven't heard anything substantial on that, but there could actually be some truth there. (Hey, even a stopped clock is right twice a day.)

The Iraqi troops are taking over more and more of their defense responsibilities (which is good news, since they were trained by the U.S. and it means an objective is being achieved, but I'm sure See-Bee-Ess doesn't quite present it that way) and more coalition troop strength is required in areas like Baghdad and Ramadi where they've got big operations underway to get these areas cleaned out and under control.

Thats the beauty of listening to short 5 min reports on the radio at the top of hours. They don,t have time to "INTERJECT".

I hope your tagline is correct. Long, long overdue.
