"This movement of these three brigades and two separate battalions into Baghdad to our way of looking at it has gone very well," Lt. Gen. Martin Dempsey, commander of the Multi-National Security Transition Command-Iraq, said in an interview.

Most of the insurgents and militias have adopted a standard guerilla war strategy. Do not confront superior force and technology directly. Evaporate and return when conditions improve. The situation will improve dramatically in the short term but that means very little in the long term because there are not enough troops for the so called ink blot strategy.
