Flopping Aces, “Even with 20/20 hindsight binoculars on, Senator Obama would not support the strategy that has brought victory gains in Iraq”
TERRY MORAN: If you had to do it over again, knowing what you know now, would you support the surge?
OBAMA: No, because, keep in mind that-MORAN: You wouldn’t?
OBAMA: Well, no, keep in mind, these kinds of hypotheticals are very difficult. You know, hindsight is 20/20. But I think that, what I am absolutely convinced of is that at that time, we had to change the political debate because the view of the Bush administration at that time was one that I just disagreed with.
So….let me get this straight: George Bush was right in supporting the troop surge and the strategy built around it, and knowing in hindsight what he knows now (that it worked!), Senator Obama still wouldn’t support it because he disagrees with “the view of the Bush administration at that time”….which was Bush’s push for the surge?
oh nice job mr obama
i like how he blames his mistake on the bush administration
im starting to see a trend here, when obama’s judgement is questioned - he never accepts responsibility for his own actions, good ol’ leftist mindset
OBH 11-22-06 “Given the deteriorating situation it is clear at this point that we cannot through putting in more troops or maintaining the presence that we have expect that somehow the situation will improve.”
OBH Today – “There might have been improvement without our military”.
He has put all his chips on the surge failing, and it has been a spectacular success. Ask Katie C., today finally she reported the overwhelmingly positive numbers.
