Obama: Surge worked fabulously; I'm still glad I voted against it
LANCASTER, Pa. - Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama said Thursday that the escalation of U.S. troops in Iraq, which he had opposed, has succeeded in reducing violence "beyond our wildest dreams."
[this is going to drive Sen. Reid, the Kos crowd, etc. batty since they've been defending the "surge didn't really work" line for months and months].
It's not a drive, it's a short putt ...
However, Obama said, "the argument was and continues to be: When are we going to turn over responsibility to the Iraqis for their own country? When are they going to resolve their political differences?"

That will happen when he is president, Obama said, "because we are going to withdraw our troops" and, while giving Iraqis support, "we are going to bring this war to a close."
