Bush and his top advisers said they expect their new approach to succeed where previous ones failed because of a new commitment from Maliki to provide resources and crack down on violent sectarian militias, even Shiite ones. But they are placing great faith in an untested Iraqi government that has not yet demonstrated a capacity to bridge the sectarian divisions that have caused an upsurge in violence over the past year.
Seems like a big gamble to me.
