		<description><![CDATA[*General Notes Downturn in Violence, Increased Confidence in Iraq*

Violence is down in Iraq and Iraqis “are starting to see this growth and gaining new confidence,” a coalition spokesman in Baghdad said today. 

Army Maj. Gen. William Caldwell told reporters at a news conference that the decrease in violence has created an opportunity for new progress. 

Combined efforts between coalition forces and Iraqi fighting forces have brought down the level of violence in the Iraqi capital, Caldwell said.

“Iraqi forces are getting better each day, and are demonstrating the commitment needed to defend the government and the people,” he added.

Let’s hope for our nation, and our President, these affect last and continue to improve the conditions for both our troops and the Iraqi people. 

Furthermore, lets hope the Democratic party and the liberal media support these efforts if they are beneficial.]]></description>
