Mike Fumento's Weekly Standard column on his Ramadi trip -
His summary:
"Put it all together – the Forward Observation Bases, new Combat Operation Posts, new Observation Posts, tribal cooperation, ever more Iraqi army and police, better intelligence, and public works projects. There's no "stay the course" strategy here; the course changes as necessary and it's continually changed for the better. I believe we are winning the Battle of Ramadi. And if the enemy can be beaten here, he can be beaten anywhere."

Reading Fumento's writings was the pivot in my change from liberal to conservative.
I recommend EVERYthing he has ever written.
