MG Caldwell: 'The violence is indeed disheartening'
by possibly noteworthy at 7:47 pm EDT, Oct 19, 2006

MG Caldwell: The violence continues against security forces and innocent Iraqis during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. Traditionally this is a time of great celebration; it has, instead, been a period of increased violence, not just this year, but during the past two years as well. The violence is indeed disheartening.

In Baghdad alone, we've seen a 22 percent increase in attacks during the first three weeks of Ramadan, as compared to the three weeks preceding Ramadan.

In Baghdad, Operation Together Forward has made a difference in the focus areas but has not met our overall expectations of sustaining a reduction in the levels of violence.

Hopefully Spc. Ziegler will appreciate my linking directly to the MNF web site.
