There has been some positive news.
The six choppers shot down in three weeks (?) reflect either: (a) improved weaponry and/or and tactics by the insurgents (which the Army says is not the case) or (b) higher risk operations, involving more close air support in dense urban environments. Part of the price of the plan.

P.S. Sadr's departure is all the more reason we should talk to the Iranians -- to negotiate for his extradition.
