VIDEO EXPLAINS WHY SURGE SUCCESS IN IRAQ IS ONLY TEMPORARY

The airwaves in the United States are filled with pundits and wannabe foreign policy experts who would want you to believe they know exactly what is going on with "the surge" and how successful it has been.

Jooest Hilterman, on the other hand, is Deputy Director for the International Crisis Group, and in this video he explains in detail why the "surge" is only a temporary success in the overall stability of Iraq.

If you are interested in the future of Iraq, and I must assume you are or you wouldn't have logged on my blog, this video is one you should watch.
