All Quiet in Iraq

A very tense quiet, says this mil blogger, since the imposition of a curfew:

The situation is violatile. Iraqi security forces are doing the lion’s share of the hard work now. Iraq’s government is under pressure to show that they can perform. I think this storm will pass. What remains to be seen is how long it will take and how well the government will do. In my time here, I’ve never heard it this quiet.

The first big test for the Iraqi Security forces. God speed.
