Admit the Progress!

Again, I post these just to remind people that security in a war zone is transitory; only political settlements will bring stability.

A female suicide bomber wearing a vest packed with explosives killed 15 people in a town northeast of Baghdad on Friday, Iraqi police said.

Another 24 people were also wounded in the blast in the town of Muqdadiya, 55 miles northeast of Baghdad, in volatile Diyala province.

The idea that there's still a "volatile province" must come as news to those who only consume Republican spin, and think that Iraq has nothing but tennis and masquerade balls by now.
