I think that we all (those on both the left and the right and even you fence sitters in the center) can agree that this is a good thing:

American and Iraqi forces are driving Al-Qaeda in Iraq out of its last redoubt in the north of the country in the culmination of one of the most spectacular victories of the war on terror.
After being forced from its strongholds in the west and centre of Iraq in the past two years, Al-Qaeda’s dwindling band of fighters has made a defiant “last stand” in the northern city of Mosul.
A huge operation to crush the 1,200 fighters who remained from a terrorist force once estimated at more than 12,000 began on May 10.

American and Iraqi leaders believe that while it would be premature to write off Al-Qaeda in Iraq, the Sunni group has lost control of its last urban base in Mosul and its remnants have been largely driven into the countryside to the south.

So much for a defeat in Iraq, Senator Reid. Don’t give up your day job to be commander in chief, we don’t need someone like you at the helm. We need someone like Bush who will withstand the pressure to retreat until he has obtained victory by defeating our enemies.
