Read Juan Cole

Juan Cole has a long post on what happened during "the surge."
As best I can piece it together, what actually seems to have happened was that the escalation troops began by disarming the Sunni Arabs in Baghdad. Once these Sunnis were left helpless, the Shiite militias came in at night and ethnically cleansed them.

It's long, but there's alot there.
