Grim News: Iraqis Returning Home

Another blow to the Democrats today with news that thousands of Iraqis are returning home.

46,000 Iraqis Return Home in October

Of course, the good news lasts for one sentence before AP weighs in with a fresh bodycount. Nice of them to work that in quickly.

The number of Iraqis returning to their country after fleeing abroad is growing, with more than 46,000 people coming home last month, an Iraqi government spokesman said Wednesday.

Meanwhile, the Iraqi Army said 17 bodies were discovered in a mass grave northeast of Baghdad in an area troops have only recently been able to enter because of a downturn in violence.

Brig. Gen. Qassim al-Moussawi, the Iraqi spokesman for a U.S.-Iraqi military push to pacify Baghdad, said border crossings recorded 46,030 people returning to Iraq in October alone. He attributed the large number to the "improving security situation."
