Obama to Bill-O:The Surge “Succeeded Beyond Our Wildest Dreams”

by Scott Creighton

Remember how we all stated and argued that “The Surge” wasn’t a success like Cheney and Bush and Bill-O all said? Remember how we took pains to research and expose the doctored numbers and changed requirements that the Bush Administration used to prove ”The Surge” worked?  Remember that part of the “Anbar Awakening” stategy was to  hand over Anbar (and monthly paychecks) to the same Sunni Militia forces that had been killing American soldiers – then turn a blind eye as they started the ethnic cleansing of the Shites out of the area? Remember all those walls being built to section off all of Baghdad, one neighborhood from the other, then staff all those check-point with our US Soldiers, effectively turning them into prison guards (or the IDF)? And do you remember Gen. Betrayus? Do you remember how he was going to present his “report” (the one really written by the White House) on how successful “The Surge” had been?

Do you remember all of that?

“The surge has succeeded in ways that nobody anticipated,”…”…succeeded beyond our wildest dreams,” Barack Obama.
