THIS MEANS NOTHING! IT'S STILL A QUAGMIRE, I TELLS YA!

Several insurgents groups have contacted President Jalal Talabani's office in the past few days, with some saying they are ready to lay down their arms and join the political process.
Enemies surrendering... wonder if this'll make any front pages?
Probably not, since it doesn't make Bush look bad.

The only place I have seen it is on the blogs. I don't expect it to make MSM because, as you say, it show how twisted there news has been and that they are a bunch of lying sumbitches.

Gee, ya think the comments by Iraq's honchos that the insurgency has legitimacy might have influenced the fighters to come in out of the battle?
Insurgents joining the political process isn't surrender, it's legitimacy. As the old button used to say, "I'm not selling out, I'm buying in."
Now we have an insurgency that is rapidly gaining the status of "opposition party". That does not bode well for US soldiers in the field. (You are planning to volunteer for the military, right? I mean, "support the troops" is more than just an empty slogan for you, right?)

Doc - The ones who stop shooting are an opposition party. The ones who keep shooting get blown up.
Not sure how being shot at less is a bad thing for the troops.
Anyway, I think this is a good thing. The Iraqis are learning to solve their quarrels through politics instead of violence.
They're becoming a civilized nation.

Iraq was a civilized nation when the US was wholly Indian-occupied. You might want to Google "Babylon" and "Assyria". Iraqis were solving their quarrels through politics quite nicely prior to invasion, and certainly prior to the installation of Saddam Hussein (following the violent suppression of the Iraqi left by Clever International Activities).
The ones who stop shooting are indeed an oppostion party. That, in turn, adds legitimacy to the ones who keep shooting; they then gain even more recruits as people who would otherwise be disgusted with al-Qaeda become more disgusted with the Willy Peter Show "liberating" a population that is trying by legal as well as illegal means to evict their "liberators".
