KT,

The surge was part of a total overhaul of the thinking and strategy for how to win. The success was not related to the increase in soldiers per se. That was a small part of it. Getting the Sunnis to turn was also part of the comprehensive strategy. It was not some random event that fell into our laps. There was an hour long Charlie Rose show on the new strategy that I provided here at the time it was implemented. It discussed the whole thing. It was an interview with one of the guys that was a key player in the "new playbook" for dealing with this kind of thing. It appears he was right about everything.
