A silver lining to the cloud in Iraq?

We are reading about modest sucess in Iraq regarding AQI. Is this really a sign of progress though?

I myself think caution would be the best approach. Al Qaeda has, worldwide, had an amazing ability to stage come backs. Always in a very deadly fashion. What I am thinking, is that they are laying low in Iraq, and shifting influence toward other areas of the world. My self and others said from the beginning of the operations in Iraq that we thought that it was a mistake. Did Saddam and his murdering brood need to be eliminated? Certainly that is so, but we already had our a tiger by the tail in Afghanistan. We needed to finish that fight before going out looking for another one to get into. Now, it is being reported that the Taliban, and Al Qaeda are coming back in a strong way there.
