Early this week, the Pentagon delivered to Congress its "first comprehensive statistical overview of the new U.S. military strategy in Iraq." Citing "uneven cooperation" and little "concrete progress," the report concluded that "reconciliation between Shiite, Kurdish and Sunni factions" remains "a serious unfulfilled objective." Further, the report found that suicide bombings across Iraq have doubled since January, overall violence "has increased in most provinces," and "civilian casualties rose slightly, to more than 100 a day."
