Obama admits surge wildly successful
 

He admits it:

http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/09...ildest-dreams/


Now will he admit he may have judged the war incorrectly, whereas McCain
called it correctly from the beginning?

How many more blunders of judgement does Obama have in store for us?

O'Reilly asked him repeatedly, and I never heard him admit he made a
mistake. Maybe I need to get the transcript, but I was intensly listening
for those exact words, "I made a mistake" or "I was wrong in voting against
the surge", but I didn't hear anything that was close to ADMITTING what most
people have known for some time.

He was certainly a bit slow in admitting what most people have known for
some time. But I will credit him with at least recognizing that he
couldn't
continue pushing his fairy tale indefinitely. And choosing O'Reilly as the
forum for coming clean was a smart move. Had he not changed at that point
he
couldn't have helped digging himself deeper into the hole under O'Reilly's
questioning.


O'Reilly? Now that guy is truly funny. Even Obama won't completely admit the
real reason why the "surge" hasn't worked (and it hasn't). The real reasons
are that we're now paying them not to fight with us (our tax dollars at
work), and bin laden's crowd has mostly moved back to the country between
Afganistan and Pakistan. Bush won't go after him there. Certainly, now with
the unstable Pakistan gov't, they won't either. McCain certainly won't. I
doubt Obama would either.

Perhaps the right-wingnuts can blame Obama for Iraq. I'm sure it's possible,
given that Community Organizer is a dirty phrase.

Can't give you the exact quote, but it was something like "the surge has
succeeded beyond my wildest expectations." Anyone who has been following
his
pronouncements should immediately recognize that as a 180 about face from
his earlier predictions that the surge would never work, and his later
"well, the Sunnis and the Shias still haven't started sitting down
together
and singing cumbya."


Here are some more 180s for you...

So, you believe that bin laden's crowd hasn't moved back to Afganistan?

As a lawyer, you should realize that if the surge suceeded in even
some very minor way, it would have succeed beyond Obamas wildest
expectations.

Actually, I disagree with Obama on this anyway. The surge quelled
violence that we instigated, but did not accomplish the stated
mission. So it did "something", but it didn't do what it set out to
do. I don't call that success, regardless of who wants to say,
"Mission Accomplished".

If you believe it, does that make it a fact for everyone else?

You're getting nutty again.

Yes. He was not just wrong. He was really really wrong.

Of course the hilarious part is that he also denies that his current
position is inconsistent with his earlier one.


Amazingly I agree with you. He's really wrong right now. The surge didn't
work. The terrorists just moved after we paid off the locals.

Not entering. Remember, Ganz is the one who's been claiming the economy
has
been constantly in the crapper for the last 8 years.


Yeah, the job numbers and inflation index that just came out prove me wrong!
LOL

Worst employment numbers in five years. Inflation on the rise. The mortgage
crisis getting worse, with no end in sight.

Drill, drill, drill... that'll fix it.
