Forget about the political stuff. If you saw the press conference, the reaction of the Iraqi reports was very moving. It doesn't matter what you believe about Bush or America or anything else. To see people genuinely rejoice like those men is an amazing thing.
Will this have any effect on the resistance? Who knows? But it is undeniable that this will have a powerful effect on the psyche of the Iraqi people. The Boogeyman is gone. The Iraqi's are now in a position to begin asserting themselves, to further express the amazing pride they have in their people and their country. This is a VERY significant day.
