Kudos for you, I guess, for giving Bush the benefit of the doubt when the Joint Chiefs of Staff and others in a position to offer expert advice say that a "surge" isn't really going to help at this point.
I think the best we can hope for is a small "surge" (there aren't enough troops available for a large one) aimed at holding the status quo a bit longer. That's a slow-motion disaster that will cost more American lives to no good end, but seriously, is there anything about a small "surge" that could accomplish anything else?
I fear that what we'll really get, either explicitly or in effect, is a decision to back the Shi'ites against the Sunnis. If they haven't had a clue about the interactions of the various sects up until this point, why should they get a clue now?
