With the last U.S. combat brigade in place for the surge, General David Petraeus stated today that combat operations have begun in the Baghdad belts. "Now for the first time we are going to a couple of the really key areas in the belts from which ... al Qaeda has sallied forth with car bombs, additional fighters and so forth," General David Petraeus told reporters in Baghdad. "In the last 24 hours we have launched a number of different offensive operations in the Baghdad belts," Petraeus said.
