The success we see in Anbar is being replicated in other parts of Iraq.
Today, Anbar is no longer lost to Al Qaida; it is Al Qaida that lost Anbar.
This achievement in Anbar province is a credit to the courage of our troops and the many brave Iraqis who fought alongside our forces agains...
Once a Sunni terrorist stronghold, Anbar has been transformed and reclaimed by the Iraqi people.
