How do you identify a win?

Not this way. This is the second or possibly third group of reserves that have been moved into Iraq within the last few months. Things are not getting better, they're getting worse. "Stay the Course" is not a plan, it's a slogan and a bad one at that. Entire article; link below; my emphasis.

""Seven Shiite workers were gunned down Saturday in a religiously mixed area of west Baghdad, and explosions in the heart of the capital shattered a one-day calm after a ban on private vehicles expired.
The United States was moving to bolster U.S. troop strength in Baghdad to cope with escalating violence between Sunnis and Shiites.
The seven Shiites died in a drive-by shooting at noon in the Furat neighborhood near Baghdad International Airport, police Lt. Maitham Abdul-Razzaq said. Two other workers were wounded.
Two large explosions in eastern Baghdad came about 20 minutes apart at midmorning. One targeted an Iraqi police patrol, but killed a civilian. The other occurred at the Rasheed military camp; there were no casualty reports.
U.S. and Iraqi troops sealed off an area of east Baghdad following the blasts and searched homes and shops looking for weapons.
A ban on private vehicles had kept down violence Friday after one of the most violent weeks in the capital this year. It expired Friday evening, and within hours, heavy bursts of automatic weapons rang out.
Scattered bombings and shootings were reported in the capital late Friday and Saturday.
Elsewhere, three people were killed and five were injured in a bombing and shooting in the main market in Baqouba, where U.S. forces killed five civilians — including two women and a toddler — the day before. The U.S. troops had taken fire from a building during a raid for suspected terrorists.
The U.S. military expressed regret over the civilian deaths and blamed extremists for putting civilians in danger. A U.S. statement said the troops fired only after occupants of the building refused repeated orders to leave.
In the northern city of Mosul, gunmen attacked a joint U.S.-Iraqi base with rocket-propelled grenades and mortar fire Saturday. A suicide car bombing followed, but nobody was reported hurt, said police Lt. Col. Abdul-Karim Khalaf.
One civilian was killed in the crossfire when masked gunmen attacked Iraqi police in Mosul, and three gunmen died in an a separate firefight with police in the city, Khalaf said.
A curfew was imposed Saturday on the city of Samarra after a bodyguard of the city council chairman detonated an explosives belt, injuring the chairman and another security officer, police said. The Feb. 22 blast at a Shiite shrine in Samarra unleashed the current wave of sectarian violence.
An Iraqi soldier was killed Saturday when a bomb exploded at the entrance to his home in Hillah, 95 60 miles south of Baghdad, police said. Six people were wounded Saturday when a bomb exploded at the central bus station in Musayyib, about 40 miles south of the capital, hospital authorities said.
The deteriorating security situation — especially in Baghdad — has alarmed U.S. officials, who had hoped that the new national unity government of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki would be able to ease tensions so that the U.S. and its international partners could begin removing troops this year.
But the situation has gotten worse since al-Maliki took office May 20. Security is likely to top the agenda when al-Maliki visits the White House this coming week.
The Baghdad area recorded an average of 34 major bombings and shootings for the week ending July 13, the U.S. military said. That was up 40 percent from the daily average of 24 registered between June 14 and July 13.Much of the violence was due to sectarian attacks. Months of worsening violence has deepened the distrust between Iraq’s Shiites and Sunnis.
Instead of cutbacks, a senior U.S. defense official said the Pentagon was moving ahead with scheduled deployments to Iraq next month and was moving one battalion to Baghdad from Kuwait, where it was in reserve, U.S. officials said.
The U.S. command had drawn up plans to reduce the number of U.S. combat brigades in Iraq from 14 to 12 by September. But that plan has been shelved for the time being because of the security crisis in the capital.”
