NASIRIYAH, Iraq, March 7 (UPI) -- Australian defense officials in southern Iraq say they are experiencing a marked security improvement in the region that they attribute to Iraqi forces.
Lt. Col. Chris Websdane, the commanding officer of the Overwatch Battle Group West, says the security on the ground in Nasiriyah, since recent insurgent violence, has improved. Australian troops are in the southern Iraqi province of Dhi Qar training Iraqi troops and acting as advisers in an overwatch capacity, the Australian Ministry of Defense reported.
Which is what the Iraqis are supposed to have been doing. The last I heard of reports from the south of Iraq, Mooky Sadr's Mahdi Army was running things, and poorly.
