It is attributable to several factors. first. the increase of American forces there and the way they have been deployed very adroitly by our military commanders. secondly. the fact that coincidentally but propitiously in Anbar Province. Sunni tribesmen have finally figured out that alQaida is as much a threat to them as to anyone else. particularly Americans. They have banded together with us to attack alQaida elements there. How long that relationship of convenience lasts is a question that has not been resolved. Within Baghdad. there has been significant ethnic cleansing. In fact. we recall just weeks ago. refugees started coming back. They were told by the Government in Baghdad: Do not come back. You are going to provoke another destabilizing situation.
