U.S.'s Iraq Surge Likely to Fail, U.K. Lawmakers Say« Thread Started on Aug 13, 2007, 11:14am » --------------------------------------------------------------------------------U.S.'s Iraq Surge Likely to Fail, U.K. Lawmakers SayBy Robert Huttonread at source> http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid= ... efer=ukAug. 13 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. military ``surge'' in Iraq, which added 30,000 troops to quell an insurgency, probably will fail, a panel of lawmakers in the U.K. Parliament said. ``It is too early to provide a definitive assessment of the U.S. `surge' but it does not look likely to succeed,'' the House of Commons Foreign Affairs Committee wrote in a report. Success ``will ultimately ride on whether Iraq's politicians are able to reach agreement on a number of key issues.'' The cross-party panel of lawmakers called on Prime Minister Gordon Brown to set out a policy to promote reconciliation between rival political factions in Iraq. The U.S. force in Iraq reached 162,000 soldiers last week, the most since the war begin in 2003. President George W. Bush faces a deadline to show progress made from his surge strategy by September, when General David Petraeus, the U.S. commander in Iraq, will give Congress an assessment. The U.K. has been lowering its troop levels in the south of Iraq, from 46,000 at the peak of combat operations four years ago to 5,500 at the end of May.
