I don't think a direct comparison to the Russians is valid.
The missions are completely different. Occupation vs. security.

And there were a lot of people here that thought the surge in Iraq would be an utter failure and look how that turned out for them.

I'm not saying it will work or not, but the commander on the ground has a lot more information available to him that I do about the situation.
