OBAMA PLAYS THE CLOWN: SAYS IRAQ SURGE WAS A FAILURE

A presidential hopeful who wants to steal defeat from the jaws of victory. Unbelievably stupid and naive. First he says the surge wouldn't work and would only make things worse, now he says of course it's going to work.



But this was Obama in January, 2008 saying the surge worked and the democrats were responsible:

What we have to do is to begin a phased redeployment to send a clear signal to the Iraqi government that we are not going to be there in perpetuity. Now, it will — we should be as careful getting out as we were careless getting in. I welcome the genuine reductions of violence that have taken place, although I would point out that much of that violence has been reduced because there was an agreement with tribes in Anbar province — Sunni tribes — who started to see, after the Democrats were elected in 2006, you know what, the Americans may be leaving soon, and we are going to be left very vulnerable to the Shi'as. We should start negotiating now. That's how you change behavior.

So basically, the way to get your allies to do things, is to hang their ass out to dry? Good lord people. This guy will spin things any way he needs to pretend he wasn't wrong.
