Shocking. Not that he’d insist he was right all along, all evidence to the contrary — a hallmark of the Iraq debate on both sides — but that he’d offer such a feeble defense. What can this possibly mean?
Q: If you had to do it over again, knowing what you know now, would you support the surge?
A: No, because, keep in mind that…
Q: You wouldn’t?
A: Keep in mind… These kinds of hypotheticals are very difficult. Hindsight is 20/20. But I think that, what I’m absolutely convinced of, is that at that time we had to change the political debate because the view of the Bush administration at that time was one that I just disagreed with.
There’s more to his answer but they cut him off there; the rest, hopefully, will be played on Nightline.

Hind sight is always 20-20...especially when you can flip-flip like a flounder without any repercussions.
tv viewers will let al obama get away with this.
What a pinhead
He seems to be ignoring the part about him “knowing what we know now”. Duh...
Juniors an idiot, someone please send him to his room.

This fraud just keeps lying, flip-flopping and tap dancing like a typical liberal empty suit, devoid of any substance or principle. He is surviving ONLY because of one reason — the complicit lap-dog MSM.

At least he’s not a flip-flopper.

Let me ping this one to myself, other boards and other people or certain that the Obamao has everything screwed down tightly.
This is Gold Free Thinker.
LOL! Great graphic!
apropos and hilarious
Next Question.
Would you say you preferred the pre-surge U.S. casualty rate to that of today?
This sounds like a man who can’t ever admit he was wrong. So arrogant.
Obama said it would be hard to speculate. “The Sunnis might have made the same decisions at that time. The Shii’as might have made some similar decisions based on political calculation. There was ethnic cleansing in Baghdad that actually took the violence level down,” he said.
Nothing quells violence like ethnic cleansing, eh? Can someone please explain what Obama is referring to here?
My need to not have to admit I was wrong supercedes my need to actually be right.
...and the stupidity of the voting public.
Yes, what Bush just didn't get is that the terrorists were eager to engage in a rousing debate instead of planting IED's outside marketplaces.
Obama has no ideas, no experience, no integrity, and not that much intelligence, judging from the above quote.
Define insanity!
