Bill Roggio reports on the Battle of Baquba. I'll link to what I can, but from experience, I've learned it takes days to get a clear idea of what is going on in the fog of war. We should certainly pray that the push against al Qaeda operatives in Diyala helps, at least, take out a few. I'm not optimistic it can do much more. In a sign of what we're up against, another gruesome mass murder took place at a Shiite mosque today and the daily numbers of tortured murdered Sunni corpses turning up on the streets of Baghdad seem to be back in the 30s.
