No Political Solution
The surge was designed to give the Maliki government "breathing space" to reach some accomodations with their opponents and craft the beginnings of a political solution to the insurgency. So far, it appears the exact opposite has happened: Maliki is weak, his government divided, and no political solution seems apparent or feasible. I don't imagine that will be much different come September, except perhaps it will be considerably worse.
