It won't work

It appears that the Iraqis don't think the surge will work either:

The Associated Press released a video Friday of Dr. Hamid al Bayati, Iraqi ambassador to the United Nations, expressing doubts about the effectiveness of President Bush's proposed "surge" in troops, which the administration estimates to be around 20,000.

Al-Maliki, on the other hand, told Bush yesterday that the surge had already worked. Of course, that was a trumped up phone call to try to upstage the House debate.
