“I think that the surge has succeeded in ways that nobody anticipated,” Obama said while refusing to retract his initial opposition to the surge. “I’ve already said it’s succeeded beyond our wildest dreams.”
Apparently Obama has a very small imagination, and a very limited ability to dream or anticipate.
Because there are a LOT of people who anticipated the surge would succeed, and are not at all surprised that we are winning the war.
In fact, Obama is like the LAST person to figure out that the Surge would work, and has worked. Petraeus dreamed about this, and anticipated it. Senator John McCain of course also knew this was the right thing to do.
Imagine in 1945, a politician running for President who opposed the D-Day invasion, and now says "D-Day worked in ways nobody anticipated".
They wouldn't be elected President, they would be laughed at. Because what we need as President is a man who DOES anticipate what will bring success.
Barack Obama opposed the winning strategy in Iraq. And he STILL says he would have opposed it. Which means that, as President, he is likely to not see how to defeat our other enemies.
Why would anybody elect a man who not only admits he had no idea how to win in Iraq, but even after seeing EXACTLY how to do it, says he would not learn that lesson?
Barack Obama demonstrates an intransigence, a lack of ability to lead, a lack of ability to learn from his profound mistakes, and a rigid adherance to a far-left ideological purity even if the face of compelling evidence that even he admits showing his ideology to be bankrupt and useless.
Say what you will about McCain, the man has shown that he puts Country first, and he's shown the ability to "anticipate" things that work, when Obama claims that nobody could do so. Clearly Obama can't anticipate how to do things right, but McCain can.
