Iran? Since when do they get a say as to what happens in Iraq? LOL. Regardless of the chumy chum visit by Ahimanutjob, Iraqis HATE Iran. That feud runs very deep and very dirty. In fact, I would venture Iran would LOVE AQ to take over Iraq because it gives them more influence and power in the region. Iran would love nothing more than for the US to leave Iraq.
As for the surge, hell, even nutjob Murtha agreed its working. Regardless of the reasons 'why' you think the surge happened, it has greatly reduced the number of bombings, etc. and is allowing people's lives return to normal (whatever that is for them).
Whether or not anything gets done in that country remains to be seen. But tell me, would it be easier to work toward building a coalition government within Iraq while fighting insurgents or not?
