Iraqi Prime Minister: Political Reconciliation Is At Hand

Fantastic news:

BAGHDAD—Iraq’s prime minister said Thursday that all political blocs have agreed to return to the Shiite-led government - a potentially important sign of success in efforts toward national reconciliation.

Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki’s optimistic remarks came a week after lawmakers with Iraq’s main Sunni political bloc said the group has agreed in principle to return to the government nearly nine months after quitting the Cabinet.

A return of the Sunnis would be a boost to al-Maliki and seen by Washington as a significant step forward.

A landmark moment, to be sure, though as with all things nothing is ever for certain.  But even so, the continued success in Iraq both on the military and political fronts continues to make the Democrats look foolish.  Earlier this week they dropped efforts to de-fund the war in Iraq, one wonders what further steps backward they’ll take as it becomes more and more clear that this war was winnable all along despite their meddling and defeatism.
