Another Surge Update

This from Congressman Kevin Brady of Texas (H/T to Don Surber)"

Mr. Speaker, traveling to Iraq this past weekend to see firsthand
how the surge is working, I really expected the worst. Instead I am very
encouraged. Communities all across Iraq are turning against al Qaeda and working
with Iraqi and coalition forces to take back their cities. Half of Baghdad is no
longer safe for insurgents. Al Qaeda is not down and out but clearly back on its
heels rejected by the very communities and religious leaders its claims to fight
for.

Come September, we might see some signs of progress against AL Qaeda in Iraq. Is this why the opposition is fighting desperately for a US pullout?
