What is ya all's assessment of this editorial ?

My thoughts, for what they're worth:

Flushing insurgents from their bases is like Whack-A-Mole; they just pop up elsewhere.

The Green Zone, the safest area in Iraq, was hit with dozens of projectiles yesterday, resulting in multiple deaths and casualties.

A significant portion of the Iraqi central government boycotts both cabinet and parliament meetings.

That $12B per month (including Afghanistan) that the war costs does not go down the tubes; a significant portion goes to well-connected firms, the WSJ base of haves and have-mores. Of course they want the surge to continue.
