Obama is dangerous to our country and our troops.

The only thing missing is a mention of another important ingredient of the surge: the introduction of the COUGAR armored vehicle into the battlefield.

What we’re really looking forward to is the introduction of the Tumbler from the Batman films. Now that is a badass fighting machine.

The troop increase intended to fully support the change in tactics and strategy that had been adopted with success by local American commanders in Anbar to a true counterinsurgency effort, which coincided with Sunnis in the region switching sides and opposing the insurgents

The Sunnis did not want to be on the loosing side.

And if it will work in Afghanistan, why won’t Obama acknowledge that it worked in Iraq and that he had it wrong all along?

Because Barack Obama is never wrong. He’s like the Pope, in this regard. The sooner you get that through your bitter, religious, gun-clinging, xenophobic head, the better off you will be.

The Surge would not have suceeded without the Awakening. The Awakening would not have suceeded without was caused by the Surge.

As events proved, the counterinsurgency strategies employed in the fall of 2006 and expanded into theater-wide doctrine as more troops arrived succeeded, and exposed Obama as not terribly adept at military strategy.

And just where would a “community organizer” who spent his time in the library at Columbia and Harvard gain any knowledge of military strategy? It’s no wonder he can’t tell a Predator from a Paladin.

Ask him about arugula though. He knows about that.

He looked so cool.

the difference between merely increasing troop levels and laying out a comprehensive strategy for attacking insurgents

‘I’m B. O. and I’m not really into actual Policies. I’m here for ‘lookin gooooood!’

So how does he plan on doing that, will the Keyboard Nutbag Warriors be over there helping win the war in their incredibly ANTI-CHICKENHAWK way?

Come on you Nutroots! FIGHT THE WAR YOU WANTED ALL ALONG!

Or will they still oppose the war, well, sort of, but kind of not really unless they can find a way to blame it on McCain…

This crap is really effing irritating.

KelliD, you’ll be happy to note that half way in, COL MacFarland recognizes CPT Patriquin.

Yes, the Awakening started in Ramadi in September 2006, but if it wasn’t for the surge, its effects would have been localized and never spread throughout Anbar in 2007 or throughout all of Iraq in 2008.

I’m racking my brain, trying to come up with an example which shows that he is even a teeny weeny bit adept at military strategy.

Why, how about the time honored strategy of surrender? That does seem to be the only strategy they will use today. I miss the days when the dems believed in fighting to win a war.

It was someone on CBS, but I am not sure who.

I don’t understand how Weasley became weasley? Is he looking to be Secretary of State or something. What a Weasel.

If you listened to the video above carefully, “the commenter” wonders if Wesley Clark is running for Postmaster General. Dog-catchers, time to update your resume`s.
