Partly successful? Exactly what political successes have resulted from the "surge?"

No, I don't. I didn't think there would be a resolution to these issues (Sunnis and Shiites) prior to invading Iraq. I don't think occupying Iraq changed anything. End result... thousands of lost lives, massive amount of injuries and disabilities (to not only our soldiers but to the Iraqi citizens) and trillions of dollars- the end game is little to no change.
