Petraeus - Success in Iraq possible without the Surge
Came across an interesting article on Thinkprogress:
http://thinkprogress.org/2008/08/25/petraeus-mccain-victory/
Petraeus is careful not to credit all the progress to the surge of U.S. troops in 2007. The sea change came last year from a series of movements now known as the Awakening. […] So would the Sunni Awakening have succeeded without the surge? Possibly, he concedes.
Wonder if McCain still considers Petraeus his Numero Uno Wisest person in the world, or if the good General meets undercarriage of bus.

Nice catch and very important. Petraeus basically affirms that which Obama has stated.
