Victory in Ramadi

Mike Totten has a truely exceptional piece about the rise and fall of Al Qaida Iraq in Ramadi. I think they've (i mean Iraqi and American forces) broken the back of AQI in this region, which used to be their safe zone. This is the fulcrum upon which the entire war will swing. If we lose this area again, the war is lost. If we maintain momentum, and this spreads to other regions, victory is ensured. It still could go either way.
