Here's an interesting article by Lieutenant General Graeme Lamb CMG DSO OBE, Deputy Commanding General for the Multi-National Force-Iraq . I'm not very optimistic about Iraq. The general is, guardedly :
...from what I have seen, it is my strong conviction that, as bad as the situation may sometimes appear, there is still good reason to be optimistic for Iraq’s future.
I'm skeptical. Food for thought.

Can't really absorb this too much, as I'm largely bed-ridden with something and I've only been online sporadically to check email and whatnot, but I'd just make the point that if he's a serving general in a field command, he's not going to come out and say straight that "It's game over man! It's game over!"
Iraq could be about to slide into the sea and he probably wouldn't say it outright.
On the surge issue, the more I look at it, the more blurred lines and unanswered questions I encounter and the less convincing I find it.
