We have seen indications that the surge of additional brigades to Baghdad and its immediate vicinity and the revitalized counter-insurgency strategy being employed have produced tangible results in making several areas of the capital more secure. We are also encouraged by continuing positive results — in al-Anbar Province, from the recent decisions of some of the Sunni tribes to turn against Al Qaeda and cooperate with coalition force efforts to kill or capture its adherents.

There's Durbin D - Ill and Casey D - Penn

Mr. Durbin and Senator Casey, a Democrat of Pennsylvania, have acknowledged recent military progress

There are others, and there are various democrat advisors who acknowledge it is working as well. You'll note the link above are from August. I have no doubt there is a strategy party wide for the dems since then that says they are not allowed to publically acknowledge progress.
