“I think that the surge has succeeded in ways that nobody anticipated. I’ve already said it’s succeeded beyond our wildest dreams.”
--Barack Obama, as quoted by, gulp, Fox News
While some have criticized Obama for these comments, we see them as a refreshing sign that Obama is not putting politics ahead of "victory" or at the least the "facts on the ground," which have dramatically improved, no matter which way you smoke them. Our wish all along has been that we want the man to win-- but not if it requires him to sell his entire soul.
(Editor's note: of course, some others' wildest dreams might have involved a heavily-armed Sarah Palin parachuting in alongside Chuck Norris...)
