Top general: Iraq must live with 'sensational attacks'
POSTED: 9:43 a.m. EDT, April 22, 2007


WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- The U.S. troop buildup in Iraq has yielded modest progress but a rise in suicide bombings helps make the ultimate success of the security crackdown uncertain, the top U.S. commander in the country said in remarks published Sunday.

Gen. David Petraeus and other senior U.S. officers in Iraq told The Washington Post in interviews that the increase in U.S. and Iraqi troops since February had improved security in Baghdad and the restive Anbar province but that attacks had risen sharply in other regions.

They said it was critical that Iraqi leaders make the political compromises needed to ensure long-term stability. (Watch the defense secretary explain the U.S. has limited patience Video)

President George W. Bush has committed almost 30,000 additional troops mostly to Baghdad, the center of violence between minority Sunnis and majority Shiites, for a major U.S.-Iraqi offensive aimed at halting a descent into all-out civil war.
