Iraqi Troops Start Rolling Out in Ramadi

The AP's Todd Pitman is reporting that more and more Iraqi tanks APC's are rolling out.
The troops didn't go far, the mission didn't last long and the neighborhood wasn't the most dangerous in town. But when Iraqi army troops moved out on a recent patrol in central Ramadi, they took a crucial step forward, rolling out in their own armored Humvees for the first time. Until now, this unit has mostly patrolled their small, relatively quiet slice of downtown on foot, leaving the worst parts of the turbulent city center to better-equipped U.S. troops.
Bit by bit, we're getting more positive reports from the media. Let's hope that the Iraqis keep making positive strides so that the media has positive things to report. I suspect they will.
