Can you clarify what you want me to do with these lines — choose the best follow-on sentence, judge which is caused by which, correct grammar, or something else?
If you mean "Which statement most likely follows from 'As costs for the war in Iraq increased'?" — the best inference is "many Americans withdrew their support" (rising costs tend to reduce public support).
If you mean "What was the effect of 'President Bush ordered another surge'?" — the intended/claimed effect was fewer U.S. and (eventually) fewer Iraqi casualties; empirically U.S. casualties fell after the 2007 surge and overall violence in parts of Iraq declined, though the causes are debated.
