WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Satellite images taken at night show heavily Sunni Arab neighborhoods of Baghdad began emptying before a U.S. troop surge in 2007, graphic evidence of ethnic cleansing that preceded a drop in violence, according to a report published on Friday.

Any thoughts? Who do we believe?

the only opinion I would trust is a military man or woman who had just returned from there.
you can't trust any news report or anything from the pentagon or either major candidate running for president

I would have to agree with sparky....I read the article, and it just sounds a little twisted in that the terrorist left before the surge, American soldiers, arrived. If one chooses to call it ethnic cleansing, then I guess that could be what it is, forcing the terrorist to leave. I don't think that would be so bad.

Would we call it ethnic cleansing if we had the police sweep thru the heavy drug trafficking neighborhoods and most of the drug dealer/users left? In a way I guess that could be what it could be called by the liberals.lol I am not referring to race, I am referring to drug dealer/user in our neighborhood, and the terrorist in the neighborhoods of Iraq.

I do not know about any of you, but the friends that I have that are in Iraq or have been in Iraq feel it is a success. If anyone has heard different, please let me know.

We returned the green zone to the iraqi's. Seems like it is working to me, too.

I hope the Iraq's continue to make progress, things changed for the better once the citizens finally got feed up and started to fight terrorism on their own (kind-off like our revolution)
