The insurgents in Iraq are active, but increasingly desperate

More than 400 people have been killed in Iraq in the last two weeks, including at least five U.S. Marines taking part in Operation Matador in western Iraq.

A reader wants to know if, in light of this upsurge in violence, I still believe, as I wrote in a column Feb. 27, that "the war in Iraq is all but won."

My answer is emphatically yes.

It is becoming much clearer that we are winning the war in Iraq. Both Al Qaeda and the democratic party are becoming more hysterical in their attacks.
