No, the Sunnis in the Anbar Province were pissed off that al-Qaeda tried to rule over them like they were either Taliban or, worse yet, Saudi Arabians, as if al-Qaeda haven't learned their lessons from Afghanistan. It would have happened surge or no surge. If al-Qaeda were to treat the civilians nicely, the Coalition would have been toast, no matter how large the surge.
