US surge 'is failing'
THE US "surge" tactic in Iraq appears likely to fail, a committee of MPs warned today.
A report by the Commons foreign affairs committee delivered a pessimistic verdict on Washington’s bid to restore peace by committing 30,000 extra troops.
“It does not look likely to succeed,” the MPs concluded. It called on the British government to set out what actions it was taking to help foster political reconciliation amid growing pressure to withdraw coalition forces.
