Baqubah Update

Nov-22-2007 » Filed Under: 3/2 SBCT , 4/2 SBCT

Michael Yon spent Thanksgiving in Baqubah and has a brief update on the situation there. Excerpt:

But I came across something today that might make veterans of the fighting in Baqubah proud. Back in May, just before operation Arrowhead Ripper, there were about 60 violent acts per day. Now there are about 6. The markets are opening and the streets are again filled with people. I thought the veterans of Baqubah might like to know that their efforts have made a tremendous difference for the people here. You fought hard. This writer saw it. Your sacrifices truly meant something.
