brigade headquarters in kirkuk, it's not just that right away, it's also in diala, but niniwa, because of the elections, it's become particularly acute. but it's no less serious along the other parts. so let's take it all together, because there have been mediations at the local levels. in kirkuk, there is u.s. brigade levels, because there have been joint coordination centers, j.c.c.'s, in verse parts of the governments that have liaisons from both the iraqi army and the kurdish on to the military level, sort of the iraqi police and the kurdish k.r.g. police on the police level in towns, especially. now, you could have the same in niniwa. clearly the general is now calling for additional deployment of u.s. troops, so that would presumably mostly be there, because that's where the least american troops are and where the need seems to be the greatest, so that would make sense. but there is also mediation done by the u.s. embassy, tchs shuttling back and forth all the time, and by the united nations with their people going also up and down top niniwa and other places to try to calm thing
