Is the "Surge" a failure and was occupying Iraq wrong from the get-go ?

Additional Details the stratgey behind the surge only works for as long as you keep tons of troops there and it seems to me the Iraqis are pretty bad at keeping their country safe now that we've given them more responsibility...violence has been way up this month

The surge, along with paying the Sunis, worked. Going into Iraq was a mistake in my opinion |

No, and there is no occupation of Iraq. You'll remember that just yesterday, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (or is she Rodham this week?) felt compelled to reassure Iraqi officials that the US would not abandon them. If the Iraqi government wants us there, it is not an occupation. |

ONLY in the Democrat Politicians views after the fact, since they too voted to go in.
My personal opinion..........NO is was a success, and NO Saddam did horrendous things to Iraq's people. They now do have the democratic process of being able to VOTE. That in my mind is huge progress. |

The surge was a failure from the start. You can't keep paying the enemy to put down their guns. At some point in time the money runs out. |
