General Petraeus, the US military leader in Iraq, and Ryan Crocker, the US Ambassador to Iraq, have spent yesterday and today testifying before House and Senate committees.
The consensus of their testimony is that the US has been militarily successful in improving security, but that this increasing level of security has not led to political success by the Iraqi government. A few thousand troops may come home by the end of the year, and more next year, but the US presence in Iraq will carry on.
