John Death Squad Negroponte says 'definite' signs of improvement in Iraq

ARBIL, Iraq (AFP) — There are "definite" signs of improvement in the security situation in Iraq, US Deputy Secretary of State John Negroponte told reporters in Iraq's northern autonomous Kurdish region.

"I saw a definite improvement in the security situation," Negroponte said at a late night news conference Wednesday in the regional capital Arbil, where he arrived earlier in the day at the start of visit to Iraq.

"There is a political process under way in parallel with the security achievements, including on national reconciliation and the oil law," he said after holding talks with regional prime minister Nechirvan Barzani.

"We are very optimistic that the progress that has occurred in security will be matched with political progress," Negroponte said. "We think the political progress that has happened already is significant."



Yes if he orders the death squads he implemented to stand down that is a 'definite' signs of improvement in Iraq. Yup.

although our troops will be dying daily, they will have neutralized it. this began with the surge.
