More Good News From Iraq

Via Gateway Pundit, coming on the heels of the major successes in Basra and Sadre City by the Iraqi security forces President Jalal Talabani has announced that all provinces should be under Iraqi control by the end of the year. From what I have gathered thousands of insurgent rebels from both JAM and Al Qaida have been eliminated in just the last few months and the people are grateful to be able to live in peace finally.
From Aswat Aliraq News:

The Iraqi President Jalal Talabani on Tuesday expected Iraqi forces would take control of security by the end of this year.

Speaking in press briefing at Suleimaniya airport before flying to Baghdad, Talabani said “Iraqi forces have been progressing and enhancing their combat capabilities to take control of security of all Iraqi territories.”

“Next year will witness a remarkable improvement in security across the country,” he added.

When asked about the proposed cabinet of Kurdistan’s regional government, he said “we must have patience,” noting “it would be formed soon.”

President Talabani held talks with Kurdistan’s regional President Massoud Barazani on the new cabinet for the Kurdish region.
