The Anbar tribes' campaign to rid the province of Zarqawi's terror organization, al-Qaeda in Iraq is in its 2nd day and so far, 270 Arab and foreign intruders have been arrested.
This comes amidst growing protest against Zarqawi and al Qaeda across Iraq and increasing tip offs from ordinary Iraqis on al Qaeda.
If all of that wasn't bad enough for Zarqawi, Zawahiri has condemned his tactics and local terrorists have singed a pledge against him.
All of which, along with 3 successful national elections and a Constitution, helps explain why the Iraqis are so optimistic.
In Iraq, 65% believe their personal life is getting better, and 56% are upbeat about the country's economy.
Some quagmire, eh? Can anyone tell me how this looks even remotely like Vietnam?
