Your worst nightmare has occurred--J. R. Dunn today in the American Thinker said the surge is working, it is succeeding. How will you Dimocrats deal with the news? Mr. Dunn says you'll probably try to ignore it.

No media source or Democrat politician is willing to admit that the situation on the ground has changed dramatically over the past three months. Coalition efforts have undergone a remarkable reversal of fortune, a near-textbook example as to how an effective strategy can overcome what appeared to be overwhelming drawbacks(not the least of which is the Dimocrat Party). The Sunnis and the Shi'a are getting together, 25 different tribes, because they're getting fed up with Al-Qaeda. Low level Al-Qaeda members in Iraq are becoming informants on the bad guys, due to their disgust with the barbaric nature of the latter's behavior.

"Someday 2006," Mr. Dunn writes, "may be seen as Iraq's 1943. It appears that Gen. David Petreaus has discovered the correct strategy for Iraq: engaging the Jihadis all over the map as close to simultaneously as possible. Keeping them on the run constantly, giving them no place to stand, rest or refit. ... We will see more of this in the weeks ahead. The Jihadis have come up with no effective counterstrategy, and the old methods have begun to lose mana. The last massive truck-bomb attack occurred not in Baghdad, but in a small Diyala village that defied Al-Queda. An insurgency in the position of using its major weapons to punish noncombatants is not in a winning situation. You will look long and hard to find any of this in the legacy media."

Democrats won't admit there's progress in Iraq. Their worst nightmare is for this news to start trickling out to the American people...but trickle it will.
