    "although the operation had met key military objectives -- it had fallen far short of achieving its overall goal of prompting the Iraqi factions to reconcile their differences and form a government"

    And just how exactly is the military supposed to force the Iraqi gov't to kiss and make up with each other. Sounds like the State Department didn't do their job (if you want to blame someone). They need to mandate the State Dept to deploy a few more folks in an effort to get the Iraqi gov't in check, rather than forcing the military to do everyone's job.

    The surge has worked. Kudos to our military men and women. Now is the time to give them a little more help in the areas that they cannot control with military force.
