Oh Sarah...don't talk about things you have no idea about.
We have just read about Sarah Palin's continued attacks on Obama. Fine...it's her job to mark the differences between their campaigns, but I think that Lieberman (now on task to educate her on foreign affairs) needs to tutor her more carefully.

Senator Obama said that the surge "succeeded beyond our wildest dreams."

"I think, said Senator Obama, "that the surge has succeeded in way that nobody anticipated." I guess when you turn out to be profoundly wrong on a vital national security decision, maybe it's comforting to pretend that everyone else was wrong too.

But I remember it a little differently. It seems to me there was one leader who did predict success, who refused to call retreat and risked his own career for the sake of the surge and victory in Iraq, and ladies and gentlemen, that man is standing right next to me, Senator John McCain.

Now, if we are truly to believe that McCain stood alone regarding the surge, despite that his judgment was in error regarding going into Iraq in the first place...perhaps we should be reminded of his actual stance on the surge.

He sure seemed to have doubts then. And I'm surprised...did she actually read or watch the interview with O'Reilly?  Because surely she would have referenced Obama's continued response to the question:

"I think that the surge has succeeded in ways that nobody anticipated," Obama told O'Reilly of President Bush's decision last year to increase troop levels. "It's succeeded beyond our wildest dreams."

But he added, "The Iraqis still haven't taken responsibility. And we still don't have that kind of political reconciliation."

Asked to list U.S. enemies, Obama responded, "Al-Qaeda, the Taliban, a whole host of networks that are bent on attacking America who have a distorted ideology who have perverted the faith of Islam and so we have to go after them."

Now remind me, wasn't the purpose behind to surge to pressure the Iraqi administration to take responsibility?  Was that not one of the preconditions when we surged?
