You might give a majority of credit to the ground battlefield commanders who changed tactics to reach out to tribal chiefs as well...this is what worked very well in areas where Sadir's influence was remote. Where tribal chiefs were involved there were repeatable and sustainable major drops in violence. If the violence were up (or goes up again) I suppose you'd give GW a pass and blame Sadir?
