Former Carter national security advisor, Zbigniew Brzezinski, summarized Bush’s plans for a "surge" of troops in Iraq saying:- "The commitment of 21,500 more troops is a POLITICAL GIMMICK of limited tactical significance and of no strategic benefit. It is insufficient to win the war militarily. It will engage US forces in bloody street fighting that will not resolve with finality the ongoing turmoil and the sectarian and ethnic strife, not to mention the anti-American insurgency."
