The war is over, and oh damn, somebody forgot to notify the media.
See, nobody is going to say "mission accomplished" this time.
Who's moving in on AQI's "last urban stronghold"? Not US forces:

BAGHDAD - Iraqi army reinforcements moved Sunday into positions near the northern city of Mosul, ready to strike al-Qaida in Iraq targets in their last urban stronghold, a top Iraqi officer said.
Maj. Gen. Riyad Jalal, a senior officer in the Mosul region, said the additional forces were encamping in an Iraqi base near the city, and would open an offensive against al-Qaida fighters "immediately after all the added troops arrive."
