Oh, my. Where to begin?

Here, then: The left, as a whole, since early 2006, has argued that Iraq is a lost cause, and they've been proven wrong.

The war in Iraq is over. We won. "We," being the USA and the Iraqi people. It's only a "lull" if we pull out.

You say you want a leader who can adjust to changed circumstances. I agree. Bush, after unforgiveable deference to Rumsfeld and some incompetent generals, finally figured that out.

How, exactly, has Obama adjusted? His Rx is exactly the same today as it was before we won -- run away. Things look bad; we've made terrible mistakes -- run away. The surge works just as its advocates said it would -- run away. We're winning -- run away.

Regardless of what you think of how and why we entered this war, do you really think Obama has demonstrated good judgement? He said that we'd lost, that the surge was folly. He's been proven wrong on that. We've won, essentially, so long as our commitment remains. And that victory, so long as we defend it, has come only because of the surge that Obama and other Dems so adamantly condemned and opposed.

Folly, indeed.
