Public Sticky notes

The top U.S. commander in Iraq, Gen. David Petraeus, said the Baghdad security operation will be extended beyond the city limits to target these Sunni areas, which he referred to as "the Baghdad belts."

"The priority clearly is Baghdad, (but) anyone who knows about security in Baghdad knows you must also secure the Baghdad belts," Petraeus told reporters at his first news conference since taking command last month.
