When everyone started carrying on about Katie CouricÂ’s trip to Iraq, I kept my mouth shut. I wanted to see what she had to say on the situation before I made a judgment about the trip.

And interestingly enough, she has come back with a rather surprising assessment.

One week before Gen. David Petraeus is expected to give his report on U.S. progress in Iraq, CBS Evening News anchor Katie Couric says she has already seen dramatic improvements in the country.

"We hear so much about things going bad, but real progress has been made there in terms of security and stability," Couric said Tuesday. "I mean, obviously, infrastructure problems abound, but Sunnis and U.S. forces are working together. They banded together because they had a common enemy: al Qaeda."

When even the liberals make the conservative case, you know that it must be true – things are improving in Iraq, and the surge is working.
