Where was the surge back in 2002?

OK, war has been going on for 5 years now. this year a big "surge" involving increased US troops in Iraq was commenced.

Can someone please tell me why we didn't do a surge in 2002?

Also, suppose the surge does bring about peace to the country. Then what? As soon as we leave, the country falls into immediate anarchy, chaos and civil war. These Sunni, Shii and Kurds do not want to live together in peace. We can referee them all we want, but as soon as we pack up and go home, they're right back at it again. So what is the use in being over there? Now we're stuck there for decades.

There's some sort of false hope that we can leave if only we train enough troops and the government gets its act together. What a joke! How many times to I have to say it? These people do NOT want to live together in peace. They never have. They never will.

The only solution is to partition the country into three autonomous regions. This will eventually come to pass - mark my words.
