Obama Admits Surge Success
In an interview on the “O’Reilly Factor” on Fox News, Barack Obama admitted, for the first time, that the troop surge strategy was successful “beyond our wildest dreams’. That’s a fairly strong description for a policy that, until now, Obama denied was either successful or relevant.
“I think that the surge has succeeded in ways that nobody anticipated — by the way, including President Bush and the other supporters. It has gone very well,” Obama conceded. But, he added, it still hasn’t been a total success.
“We have reduced the violence, but the Iraqis still haven’t taken responsibility, and we still don’t have the kind of political reconciliation — we are still spending $10-$12 billion dollars a month,” Obama said.
In his interview with “The O’Reilly Factor,” Obama listed America’s enemies in the war on terror as Al Qaeda, the Taliban, and 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,” he said.
