Although the U.S. troop surge in Iraq was intended to improve security for Iraqis, enabling them to make political and economic advances, it hasn?t worked out that way. Enemy-initiated attacks dropped by more than 20% in July-August, the period following full deployment of the 30,000 additional U.S. troops. But almost all the decrease was in attacks on U.S. coalition forces. Attacks on Iraqi security forces and civilians stayed at about the same level. The Government Accountability Office tabulated the breakdown, using Defense Intelligence Agency data.
