Kekerasan telah menurun di Baghdad pada saat ribuan tentara AS dan Irak membanjiri ke dalam kota, namun demikian hal itu tampaknya sementara, karena para pemberontak bisa memanfaatkan situasi, kata Mayor Jenderal Joseph Fil, komandan pasukan AS di Baghdad.
Violence has declined in Baghdad as thousands of U.S. and Iraqi forces flow into the city, but the dip is likely temporary while insurgents assess the situation, said Major General Joseph Fil, commander of U.S. troops in Baghdad.
