#1 Beyond our wildest dreams? In ways that no one anticipated?

Rather than accuse Him of being a dissembling bag of crap, I will just point out that the results you see today in Iraq are what Petraeus and company planned for, worked for, and even died for. My contempt is boundless.

#2 No need for an essay in contrasts however, huh's, and 'you knows' distant thoughtful reflection, verbal meandering, phrases like 'above my pay grade'... none of these are in the lexicon of General David Petraeus.

#4 Obama said that the surge, quote, "succeeded beyond our wildest dreams. I think

But he's not really sure? I think? Far cry from Harry Reid doom and gloom pronouncement that all is lost in Iraq, surrender, appease, withdraw immediately.

I expect some declaration from BO and Biden that we were for the surge before we were against it but now we are for the surge again.

#5 Like many others, the surge did not exceed my wildest dreams. It did do much better than I thought, but I was not fully aware of the majors changes in strategy that ere coupled with it. What it did do for Obama and other Democrats is exceed their greatest fears. If Iraq was a mess now, no Republican could save the white house. It would have been a Goldwater year.
