Bush yesterday hailed the U.S. troop surge in Iraq as a major success that has put al-Qaeda and other enemies of America "on the run," producing successes few people believed possible a year ago.In his annual State of the Union address to the American people, Mr. Bush said the security gains have been so great the United States is now increasingly prepared to hand over the lead in military operations to Iraqi forces."Our enemies in Iraq have been hit hard.

They walked to new safe havens, and re-grouped under his watchful eye.The Taliban and AQ have just started fighting the Occupation in Afghanistan.

Bush is delusional if he really thinks the allegiance of Iraqi hordes is in sympathy with the US. Most neighborhoods have been 'cleansed' in Iraq already.
