The principal goal is now to turn Iraq back to the Iraqis in all respects, and stop pouring our dwindling treasury down the black hole there. I am much less concerned with who gets credit for what, than knowing that young American soldiers will no longer be risking their lives from malcontent Iraqi car bombs and IEDs. The US has more important priorities. I want Obama to get us moving on them, whatever it takes.

It is the "Sunni Awakening" that is the reason violence has gone down. And once the US troops draw down, violence between Shias and Sunnis will erupt. The war will only be won when the hearts and minds of the Iraqis are won. And that has not happened. Just an observation, but your two thoughts are completely contradictory. If the "Sunni Awakening" is responsible for the drastic decrease in violence, then we shouldnt see it erupt after US troops leave. Slacker
