Baghdad Starts to Exhale as Security Improves

This is a story about a family that has returned to their home in Baghdad, seeing that the violence is down. It is indeed a touching story but the the usual taint of it is America's fault is readily discernible. I may be wrong about that but I doubt it. Of the several snips and quips I detected, this one stands out like a sore thumb to me. emphasis added is mine.

[...] The security improvements in most neighborhoods are real. Days now pass without a car bomb, after a high of 44 in the city in February. The number of bodies appearing on Baghdad's streets has plummeted to about 5 a day, from as many as 35 eight months ago, and suicide bombings across Iraq fell to 16 in October, half the number of last summer and down sharply from a recent peak of 59 in March, the American military says.

So, is there any doubt? Please forgive the suspicions I have about the Lame Stream Media but just once...just once...i would Like to see a Good News piece without the "but" crap.
