For more analysis on the US troop pullback, we speak on the line with Fu Yiming, correspondent for Xinhua News Agency in Baghdad.

Q1: Hello, Mr Fu. US troops have withdrawn from Iraqi cities, and a total pull out is expected by the end of 2011.

There are fears of a surge in violence, though many believe the Iraqi armed forces are ready. What's your assessment of that?

Q2: US troops have been in Iraq for 6 years. Have they achieved their goal? Can we say US troops have scored a victory, at least in some areas?
