Why the surge? "Because it was not a key feature of Baker-Hamilton."
Carpet Bagger Report pulls this info out of a longer

I thought he did a good job with the speech. He was humble, forthright, and straightforward. He provided somewhat of a timeline (not to withdrawal, but to certain milestones that must be met by the Iraqis). He took responsibility for it all. Right after he said, "Where mistakes have been made, the responsibility rests with me," I thought, "gee, wouldn't it be a great TV moment if he up and resigned right then?
But overall, I had one problem with the speech. I just don't see the plan WORKING.
