Abstract:
The 2007 Iraq surge allowed Coalition and Iraqi forces to hold the hard-earned ground that was wrested from the enemy, while continuing to pursue terrorists as they struggle to regroup elsewhere. Iraqi leaders must now make deliberate choices to secure lasting strategic gains through reconciliation and political progress.
