Iraq Update

This week Iraqis will go back to the polls for the third time this year to make history once again. Tigerhawk writes that this is further evidence that we are winning in Iraq (note: the post is rather long, but worth the read).

Here's another bit of good news.

FALLUJA/RAMADI Iraq (Reuters) - Saddam Hussein loyalists who violently opposed January elections have made an about-face as Thursday's polls near, urging fellow Sunni Arabs to vote and warning al Qaeda militants not to attack.

In a move unthinkable in the bloody run-up to the last election, guerrillas in the western insurgent heartland of Anbar province say they are even prepared to protect voting stations from fighters loyal to Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, leader of al Qaeda in Iraq.
