With the caveat that its too early to tell if "the surge" is working the pentagon has admitted that violence has increased in Iraq in the last few months.

The report described Iraq's violence as mainly a result of illegally armed groups engaging in a "cycle of sectarian and politically motivated violence, using tactics that include indiscriminate bombing, murder, executions and indirect fire (rocket and mortar attacks) to intimidate and to provide sectarian conflict."

When can we leave?
