The goal of the surge was to facilitate political progress in Iraq
by giving their government some breathing room. The breathing room
was created, that did work (probably more from the money paid to
former Sunni insurgents to induce them to stop shooting Americans,
than from the extra Americans), however no political progress has been
made. None. Hence to claim that the surge is a complete success is
blind to a large degree.
