Entry: The Surge--Is It Soup Yet? Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/the_surge_is_it_soup_yet#21954 Post contents: I knew the surge would fail as soon as it was announced. How? Because it was announced, weeks before it would have gone into effect. The guerillas therefore heard about it and adopted basic countermeasures weeks before they needed to. Meanwhile any competent Iraqi official realised that the plan was going to fail and so just figured out how to look like he was helping with the minimum of danger and the maximum of bribes (from either side) for his efforts.
