"The Iraqi national defense force or police have total control of the Anbar province," Inhofe said, noting he visited with U.S. top commander Gen. David Petraeus and toured Fallujah, which Inhofe said is a totally secure area now. Fallujah once was a hotbed for anti-American insurgents.

I found this on one of my trolls of news regarding Fallujah.

I am stupefied by the description of Fallujah as "a totally secure area now." I would like to know exactly where the good Senator went in that city, because his assessment does not match the information I have on the conditions there. I wonder whether he even left the FOB?

I find it particularly ironic that he made this comment this week, given the events -- a murder of an anti-AQ local, a bombing of the funeral procession for the same, a bombing at a police recruiting event, and a botched mortar attack on the government center (landed in an adjacent neighborhood, with multiple casualties).

Ugh.
