  I am writing today to encourage our Senators to cosponsor and vote for Senate Resolution 636, which recognizes the strategic success of the troop surge in Iraq and expresses gratitude to members of our military for making that success happen. The counterinsurgency strategy and troop buildup implemented by our troops in Iraq under the leadership of General David Petraeus, General Raymond Odierno and Ambassador Ryan Crocker has dramatically turned around the strategic situation in that country. What began as military progress has since been translated into political progress, which was made particularly clear in early October when Iraq approved its local elections law. The strategic success of the surge is clear and it is about time that Congress officially recognizes our troops' accomplishment.
