This tells us alot about the piss poor judgement of the messiah, known as Obama
Despite the huge undeniable success of the surge, Obama would still oppose it, and allow the US to lose in Iraq
Pathetic! Obama Says He Would Still Oppose the Surge... Credits Sunni Awakening Members For the Success!
But, Please Don't Question His Support For the US Military.
After meeting with General David Petraeus today, Barack Obama gave credit to the Sunni Awakening members and the Shia militia members for the success of the surge.
Nice.
Finally, Barack Obama admits the surge was a success and gives credit to where it is due... To the Sunnis.
Barack Obama credited the Sunni Awakening Members and Shia fighters with the success of the surge today in an interview with ABC.
Marc Ambinder reported:
Sen. Barack Obama said it was "fair" to notice that he did not anticipate that the surge of U.S. troops into Iraq would be coincident with the so-called Sunni Awakening and the decisions of Shia militias to reduce their footprints, the combination of which led to measurable declines in violence.
In an interview with ABC's Terry Moran, Obama said that he "did not anticipate, and I think that this is a fair characterization, the convergence of not only the surge but the Sunni awakening in which a whole host of Sunni tribal leaders decided that they had had enough with Al Qaeda, in the Shii’a community the militias standing down to some degrees. So what you had is a combination of political factors inside of Iraq that then came right at the same time as terrific work by our troops. Had those political factors not occurred, I think that my assessment would have been correct."
