Let's face it, folks, the surge has been "working"-- so far. Here's some other developments, however, that deserve their share of the credit:
1. The "Anbar Awakening"-- Sunni tribal leaders built local security forces in Anbar province.
2. Moktada al-Sadr drew down the Mahdi Army.
3. JSOC (Joint Special Operations Command)-- used "collaborative warfare" to track down al-Quaeda members.
To quote President Bush, "JSOC is awesome."
