“The problem is that the Surge succeeded tactically and improved security, but none of the basic problems facing Iraq have been solved. How do you share oil revenue? What is the relationship between Sunni, Shia, and Kurd? What is the disposition of the city of Kirkuk? What’s the role of Iran, I think the biggest winner in the war so far? None of these questions have been solved. All of them have led to violence in the past, all of them are likely to lead to violence in the future. As in Afghanistan, I think you’re going to seen an increase in violence in Iraq this summer.”
Tom Ricks, on Charlie Rose
