BAGHDAD — Iraq's prime minister said yesterday that the government has defeated terrorism in the country, a sign of growing confidence after recent crackdowns against Sunni extremists and Shiite militias.

Good for them. It seems a little unappreciative not to mention us. A parade with American flags would do a lot to insure an American commitment, although now that Obama's on board, it may not be necessary.

Anyways, congratulations, Iraq.
