President George W. Bush, showcasing his election-year credentials as commander-in-chief, said U.S.-led efforts to destroy al-Qaeda terrorists operating in postwar Iraq are succeeding.
U.S. forces intercepted a document sent to al-Qaeda leaders that quoted a "terrorist" named Zarqawi as saying the military coalition in Iraq is "suffocating" resistance efforts, Bush said in a weekly radio address marking the first anniversary of the invasion to topple Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein. "Zarqawi is getting the idea," Bush said. "Whatever it takes, we will fight and work to assure the success of freedom in Iraq."

There are reports that Zarqawi has been dead for quite some time. Either way, there are facts that the Pentagon wanted to go after this guy three times before the war but got shut down by the White House.
Anyway, I guess the latest deadly bombings prove that we're winning. Don't they? You remember the equation: increased resistance = proof of success.
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
