On MSNBC now: The top two leaders of Al Qaeda in Iraq were killed in a U.S.-Iraqi operation.
Vice President Biden [slightly paraphrased]:
Their deaths are potentially devastating blows to Al Qaeda in Iraq, but also demonstrates capability of Iraqi security forces. They led this effort. They have taken the lead in securing Iraq and its citizens. ...
There will be more difficult days ahead... but the future of Iraq won't be shaped who want to destroy, but those who want to build a strong and confident Iraq.
