Anywho, we still need to address real issues instead of putting lipstick on a pig to make it look pretty.

We certainly have a long way to go in Iraq. There is no doubt that the overwhelming majority of the insurgents are Iraqi nationalists or members of sectarian gangs, not Al Qaeda-types. But, it is the members of AQI that have perpetrated some of the worst attacks on Iraqi civilians, incited a lot of the sectarian strife, and are responsible for many of our soldier's casualties. So, while this isn't necessarily the light at the end of the tunnel, it's a good start.
