The American Narrative of the Surge

In 2007 the American narrative of itself says oh they got this amazing general general patreus who then the Bush administration gave them the policy of the surge and because of the surge you had this great awakening amongst the Sunni tribes. But what actually happened is that the Americans turned against their previous policy and they said oh we need to deal with the ex-bathists, I think it's a good idea to talk about how U.S. failed in Iraq between 2003 and 2007.
