The entire point of the surge was political reconciliation. The surge was supposed to give Maliki breathing room to figure out how to make nice with the Sunnis. With zero political progress being made (actually negative since the Kurds have basically declared their independence and the head Sunni guy has been killed), the surge is an utter failure in its stated mission. Most of the media is too lazy to pay attention so they keep repeating the nonsense that the surge is working because of reduced hostility in Anbar. Dubya failed at something completely of his own making with nearly unlimited resources: the war and the surge. It is quite remarkable that anyone believes he can even tie his own shoelaces.
