I do not see an end to the insurgency. I think that as long as we remain in Iraq there will be these continual suicide bombings.. That means we cannot leave... Catch 22... all over.

The insurgency is losing, but it will take a long time. The Sunni tribes can be negotiated with (already they are saying that they won't boycott the next election), but there is a hardcore of Saddam's men with blood on their hands and the AQ/Wahabbis who must be killed off, because there is no negotiating with them. As the Iraqi troops come on line, the US troops will draw down. Insurgencies can be defeated when only a small part of the population supports them. This insurgency doesn't have majority support even among the Sunni, let alone the other 80% of Iraq.
