EVER NOTICE HOW THEY NEVER SAY WHAT EXACTLY IS "WORKING" ONLY THAT THE SURGE IS "WORKING"...
THE NOTION BEING THAT IF YOU SEND A 100 TROOPS INTO A SUNNI TOWN TO "GUARD" THE STREETS...VIOLENCE GOES DOWN...
BUT IF YOU SEND A 100 TROOPS ANYWHERE THE VIOLENCE WILL GO DOWN! NOW WHEN THEY DECIDE TO LEAVE THEY MAY GET HIT BY A ROADSIDE BOMB...BUT THE SURGE IS "WORKING" NONETHELESS...
IF THE US MILITARY IS WILLING TO ARM AND TRAIN THE SUNNIS TO PROTECT THEMSELVES FROM THE MALIKI/SADR DEATH SQUADS... WELL THEN...MAYBE THE SURGE IS WORKING...
THE REAL PROBLEM IN IRAQ RIGHT NOW...IS THAT BUSH HANDED IRAQ TO IRAN ON A SILVER PLATTER...AND THAT SIMPLY IS NOT THE DESIRED RESULT...
THE RESULT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE AN IRAQI GOVERNMENT...PROBABLY MADE UP OF US BACKED EXILES...WHO WOULD GIVE THE IRAQI OIL TO THE AMERICAN COMPANIES...AND NOT COMPLAIN TOO MUCH ABOUT ISRAEL ANNEXING THE WEST BANK...
BUT WILL THE SURGE EVER PRODUCE THAT KIND OF GOVERNMENT IN IRAQ...I DOUBT IT.
