Location: The Heritage Foundation's Allison Auditorium
The Bush Administration's "Plan B" for Iraq, announced in
January 2007 and fully operational in June, has produced remarkable
improvements in the security situation. How much progress has
been made in Iraq and how sustainable are these security
achievements as the level of U.S. troops gradually drops to
previous levels? What are the strengths and weaknesses of the
surge strategy? What are the prospects for ultimate
success? How can U.S. policy in Iraq be improved?
