Yes, but it's happening now, so lets be grateful and pray that it continues.

This is wonderful news for which we are all thankful. However, don't drop your guard, be careful and stay safe. Remember, there are still far too many lawyers roaming Iraq who are a threat to everyone...

Nobody's letting any guard down. We're all still in full battle-rattle off the bases, and armed to the teeth as well.

The explosions have not stopped, but they have reduced significantly. Drastically. Incredibly.

I report it - y'all decide if you want to see the glass half full or half empty. ;-)

I'm an optimist and have been slammed by naysayers on here for almost four years. I am being vindicated now. Will I gloat?

You bet. When the time is right.
