Hey bwah, that's America, love it or leave it. (spits terbaccy juice)
The surge is working. Yes, it's working as a band-aid to provide some
PR cover for the Nov. election. In actuality, it has further extended us in this no-win debacle.
I don't buy this crap. The Sunnis were getting fed up with AQ regardless of surge or no-surge. The "Sunni Awakening" is a lot of what has brought about this change of events, not the blessed surge. The Shia/Sunni rancor is as bad as it ever was. Meanwhile, they're sitting on a surplus while we bleed money and blood.
Tar-baby from hell.
