Iraq War troop surge of 2007
In the context of the Iraq War, the surge refers to United States President George W. Bush's 2007 increase in the number of American troops in order to provide security to Baghdad and Al Anbar Province.〔("The Surge at Year One" ). By Michael Duffy. ''Time''. Published January 31, 2008. Accessed〕
The surge was developed under the working title "The New Way Forward" and was announced in January 2007 by Bush during a television speech.〔〔 Bush ordered the deployment of more than 20,000 soldiers into Iraq (five additional brigades), and sent the majority of them into Baghdad.〔 He also extended the tour of most of the Army troops in country and some of the Marines already in the Anbar Province area.〔 The President described the overall objective as establishing a "...unified, democratic federal Iraq that can govern itself, defend itself, and sustain itself, and is an ally in the War on Terror."〔 The major element of the strategy was a change in focus for the US military "to help Iraqis clear and secure neighborhoods, to help them protect the local population, and to help ensure that the Iraqi forces left behind are capable of providing the security".〔 The President stated that the surge would then provide the time and conditions conducive to reconciliation between communities.〔 Retrieved on 28 January 2015〕
==Terminology==
The phrases "New Way Forward", "The New Way Forward" and "A new way forward in Iraq" were widely used by White House Press Secretary Tony Snow and the news media prior to the President's speech on January 10, 2007 announcing the policy change. The US press also refers to the increase as a "surge" or "Iraq troop surge." Following the speech, some Democrats began using the term "escalation" rather than "surge," though others in the party use the terms interchangeably.
