Remember when Anbar Province was the most out-of-control area of Iraq -- and that was cited by Democrats as evidence that "America has lost the war in Iraq"?

Well, that was before the success of the surge -- and on Monday the Iraqi government will take responsibility for security in the former al-Qaeda stronghold.

US forces will hand over control of Anbar province to Iraqi troops in the coming days, military officials said Wednesday, touting improved security in the region.

"We believe the province could turn over to Iraqi control in just a few days," Marine General James Conway said.

"The change in the Al-Anbar province is real and perceptible," Conway said of the majority-Sunni region, which is Iraq's largest province.

Remember this as the Democrats nominate cut-and-runner Barack Obama tonight in Denver -- AMERICA IS WINNING!
