It has not spread to 80 percent of the population
Yahoo story:
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2&u=/nm/20050126/ts_nm/iraq_general_dc

"The level of violence in 14 of the 18 provinces in Iraq is four incidents or arrests a day," said Casey, who commands 150,000 U.S. troops. "It is primarily confined to four provinces. It has not spread to 80 percent of the population."

DU's Lynnthedem posting and rebuttal:
Those "just 4 provinces" include the largest, and capital, city of Iraq; BAGHDAD. Which ALONE is 20%-25% of the entire population!

Those "just 4 provinces ALSO include a total of THREE of the FIVE LARGEST cities in Iraq.

The TOTAL of those "just 4 provinces" amounts to JUST OVER FIFTY PERCENT of the ENTIRE POPULATION OF IRAQ.

1. I was thinking he was pretty smooth with his words when he made that
comment. Apparantly no one in the media caught on to it.
