We Have Not Yet Begun to Surge

That is essentially what Gen. Petreaus, the man tasked with implementing the surge, is saying. He says what we are seeing now aren't "real operations" because the full complement of surge troops have yet to arrive. So just give him another Friedman and he'll report on what a success the surge is, if it ever gets started of course.

Regardless of how the general may feel about how "real" operations are in Iraq, there sadly remains one thing that is very real.

Update: Must read post from Michael J.W. Stickings.
