Hundreds of Insurgents Killed/Captured in Baghdad in last two weeks.

CNN, has an interesting article not for its title, "Dozens killed in suicide blast outside mosque, school", nor most of its content, but for what it writes that PM Maliki said, namely,

Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki said Saturday that the effort to restore order in Baghdad has yielded results and has left hundreds of insurgents arrested or dead. So far, 426 suspected insurgents have been detained and roughly the same number killed, al-Maliki told reporters. The crackdown has reduced sectarian killings and kidnappings; dismantled terror cells; foiled terror plots; and allowed hundreds of displaced families to return home, he said.

That means in the last two weeks since the surge started, over 850 insurgents have been taken off the streets, almost half permanently. This fact coupled with the fact that dozens of tribes in Anbar have unified against the "Islamic State of Iraq" and other insurgent groups are distancing themselves from the "Islamic State of Iraq" does not bode well for the Al Qaeda.

Are we witnessing the end of the insurgency? I believe we are.
