Its a dog and pony show i dont think this surge was meant to end i think they wanted to have more troops on the ground period.Now that they are there they are not leaving and its just a matter of time before they send an additional 25 30ooo troops.Because the Iraqis or whoever will never stop killing your guys until you leave and i hope to God you dont bomb Iran then the shit will hit the fan.3500 dead American soldiars will seem like wishfull thinking.
