“增兵”早晚要结束，而惨遭暴力和腐败侵袭的伊拉克民众还是无法团结其政治组织。 而且，由于他们的军队还是无法从美国人那里接管过来，因此伊斯兰圣战组织以及不同族裔之间的暴力还是肯定会再次爆发。
The “surge” will end sooner or later, and the Iraqis, crippled by violence and corruption, will still be incapable of uniting their polity, and, with their military still unable to take over from the Americans, jihadi and inter-ethnic violence is bound to erupt again.
