The Iraqi Army continues to press the Sadrist militia in Basra, and for average residents the situation is improving. Markets are opening and life is returning to normal -- hardly the picture suggested by initial media reports, which portrayed the operation as a near-fiasco.

"Of course we're winning"
I wholeheartedly agree with this statement by E. Thomas McClanahan: “The Iraqi Army continues to press the Sadrist militia in Basra, and for average residents the situation is improving.” I also agree with this statement from a previous column: "It would be premature to say that Iraq has definitively turned the corner, but the progress of recent months is undeniable."
Wait a minute. He made the second comment in a column over three years ago on April 13, 2005.
Never mind.
