A Multinational Force Iraq map shows the number of Iraqis who’ve become part of the Sons of Iraq working to counter al-Qaida and insurgents in Iraq.
U.S. Army Gen. David H. Petraeus submitted the chart as part of his testimony before Congress April 8 and 9, 2008.

Good to see they’re finally getting their rears
in gear and going to the front, so we can
take the rear.
The plan is working.
Too bad Gen Petraeus wasn’t military commander in 2003. His policies have taken us from a near disaster to a successful operation. Converting and using the local militia forces has just about negated al-Quedas ablilty to work in local communities where the terrorist group was at it’s most effectiveness.
Lynn, it is so good to see happening. I agree keep them in the front and our guys in the rear.
Tom that would have made this so much better, I agree. Gen Petraeus had done wonders and if only he had been in charge from the beginning.
