He added that “such an attack in 2006 might have triggered a spiral of revenge killings, but, today, such horrific events actually unite Iraqis of different ethnicities and confessions in their outrage.”
Odierno said that Al Qaeda is forced to undertake its attacks in more remote parts of the country, rather than in the capital, attributing this shift to the pressures made by Iraqi security forces and the weakness of Al Qaeda leaders.
He affirmed that the coalition forces and the Iraqi security forces enjoy the people’s trust noting that Iraqis are condemning extremists and reporting on weapons caches, and are claiming to enroll in the security forces.
