British Iraq envoy says escalation not working.

Britain’s envoy to Iraq, Alastair Campbell, says the escalation is not working. “Campbell, whose remarks may cause embarrassment to Downing Street and anger in Washington,” said last week, “The evidence does not suggest that the surge is actually working, if reduction in casualties is a criterion. The figures in April were not encouraging.”
