It cannot work because the Iraqis have to step up, unless we plan to be there forever, in which case the violence will return, exponentially.

I would say the surge cannot "work" because Iraq was the wrong place to invade to begin with. It never had anything to do with the actual war on terror. It was a disastrous strategic blunder that took our focus off Afghanistan where the real battle against terrorism is still raging today. The surge can only "work" in the sense of hopefully undoing some of the damage from the blunder.
