Like he was right on the surge lol. If Obama had his way we would be leaving Iraq with our tails between our legs.
Of course you would want to move the discussion away from the illegal invasion of Iraq and discuss only the so-called surge. The added 30,000 soliders was nearly a secondary factor when you take stock of the current situation in Iraq. More important factors like:
1.The Sunni rejection of al-Qaeda extremists in Anbar province (which preceded the surge
2.The surprise decision of radical Shiite leader Moqtada al-Sadr to order a unilateral cease-fire by his militia
3. Bob Woodward has mentioned this prominently in his new book;
was the use of new highly classified U.S. intelligence tactics that allowed for rapid targeting and killing of insurgent leaders.
He credits this information from Pentagon Insiders and other military personnel.
You know when Obama went on the O"Reilly factor I was disappointed that he didn't take a stronger stance with O'Reilly about the surge. He should responded to that pig with why the surge really worked.The very thing that Obama has been talking about from the beginning troop withdrawal even your President Bush has jumped on that bandwagon (I think this is just to help the Republicans in the upcoming elections) and the Iraqi government has already been talking about our withdrawal for months.
There is nothing for us to win in Iraq there is no war just an illegal occupation that has turned a country upside down and made them more unstable, more violent, and not better off.
This isn't some macho contest to see whose tougher or badder. Soldiers are dying nearly everyday, Iraqis are dying nearly everyday, and we are literally bleeding billions of dollars every month in the region. So can you really not see the utter failure of this invasion?
