Barack Obama said that the surge of American forces in Iraq has ``succeeded beyond our wildest dreams,'' though the Iraqis still haven't done enough to take responsibility for their country.

I don't think the 'progress' is real. I think we purchased a temporary period of calm - by putting the terrorists (aka Sons of Irag) on the payroll. And, yes, I believe it is election-year window dressing. This 'progress' is going to unwind as soon as we stop buying it.
