Obama finally admits the surge worked

Posted 05 Sep 2008 in Barack Obama, victory, war


A little Monday morning quarterbacking from Obama.

The troop surge in Iraq has been more successful than anyone could have imagined, Barack Obama conceded Thursday in his first-ever interview on FOX News’ “The O’Reilly Factor.”

As recently as July, the Democratic presidential candidate declined to rate the surge a success, but said it had helped reduce violence in the country. On Thursday, Obama acknowledged the 2007 increase in U.S. troops has benefited the Iraqi people.

“I think that the surge has succeeded in ways that nobody anticipated,” Obama said while refusing to retract his initial opposition to the surge. “I’ve already said it’s succeeded beyond our wildest dreams.”

Yeah, nice bit of history revision there, Barry. Nobody anticipated the success of our soldiers in Iraq? Just keep telling yourself that to feel better about your profoundly misguided opposition. Good thing you weren’t commander-in-chief, huh?
