PALIN: Just last night Senator Obama finally broke and brought himself to admit what all the rest of us have known for quite some time, and that's: thanks to the skill and valor of our troops, the surge in Iraq has succeeded. Senator Obama said that the surge, quote, "succeeded beyond our wildest dreams. I think," said Senator Obama, "that the surge has succeeded in ways that nobody anticipated." I guess when you turn out to be profoundly wrong on a vital national security issue, maybe it's comforting to pretend that everyone else was wrong, too.
I think Obama is no match for the Mama.

In July during an interview with Katie Couric. Obama used practically the exact same wording he used during the O'Reilly interview. And he's said the same ever since. I guess you're not interested in listening to anything that doesn't come out of the McCain machine though so you're ripe for being lied to.

Regardless of what Bill O'Reilly says, Obama's been saying it since July.
Which, even if true, is completely beside the point that his position has gone from "We've lost, we need to pull out immediately" to "A surge will never work" to "The surge isn't working" to "The surge worked beyond my wildest expectations."
It should be noted that when he says: "the surge has succeeded in ways that nobody anticipated" he should have added "except John McCain. He was the guy who pushed for it and who has been right all along."
By the way... here's what he told Couric:
Quote:
Couric: But talking microcosmically, did the surge, the addition of 30,000 additional troops ... help the situation in Iraq?
Obama: Katie, as "¦ you've asked me three different times, and I have said repeatedly that there is no doubt that our troops helped to reduce violence. There's no doubt.
Couric: But yet you're saying "¦ given what you know now, you still wouldn't support it "¦ so I'm just trying to understand this.
Obama: Because "¦ it's pretty straightforward. By us putting $10 billion to $12 billion a month, $200 billion, that's money that could have gone into Afghanistan. Those additional troops could have gone into Afghanistan. That money also could have been used to shore up a declining economic situation in the United States. That money could have been applied to having a serious energy security plan so that we were reducing our demand on oil, which is helping to fund the insurgents in many countries. So those are all factors that would be taken into consideration in my decision-- to deal with a specific tactic or strategy inside of Iraq.
Couric: And I really don't mean to belabor this, Senator, because I'm really, I'm trying "¦ to figure out your position. Do you think the level of security in Iraq "¦
Obama: Yes.
Couric "¦ would exist today without the surge?
Obama: Katie, I have no idea what would have happened had we applied my approach, which was to put more pressure on the Iraqis to arrive at a political reconciliation. So this is all hypotheticals. What I can say is that there's no doubt that our U.S. troops have contributed to a reduction of violence in Iraq. I said that-- not just today, not just yesterday, but I've said that-- previously. What that doesn't change is that we've got to have a different strategic approach if we're going to make America as safe as possible.

Who cares what O'Reilly is beating his chest about? The point is that OBAMA has completely reversed himself because he didn't know what he was talking about in the first place. His ignorance is excusable though because of his pitiful lack of experience.

I said PRACTICALLY the same, ipsc, not exactly. I'd be more concerned about him if he still insisted on denying it. That makes him very unlike SOME leaders who can never bring themselves to admit they made a mistake.
