Count the bombings: There were only 23 suicide bombing attacks in November — the lowest level in seven months — and a U.S. general attributed the drop to U.S. and Iraqi operations along the Syrian border. So that means we’re winning, right?
Not necessarily. Maj. Gen. Mark Lynch then warned that al-Qaida in Iraq will likely increase attacks in the next two weeks in an attempt to disrupt parliamentary elections slated for Dec. 15. So, it looks like we’re still losing.
