Obama on O'Reilly: "Surge Succeeded Beyond ‘Wildest Dreams’"

Posted by Ender (aka Ender) Sep 4 '08, 16:51

"'I think that the surge has succeeded in ways that nobody anticipated,' Obama said while refusing to retract his initial opposition to the surge. 'I’ve already said it’s succeeded beyond our wildest dreams.'"

I've got a bright shiny nickel that says some variation of "my opponent says 'the surge has succeeded in ways nobody anticipated', I beg to differ" shows up in tonight's speech.

Yup. Some of us certainly anticipated success. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Sep 4, 17:08
see, I'm not entirely convinced the surge has succeeded in a long term kind of way. - mafic Sep 4, 16:58 1
- not only that, you have the Iraqi government undermining and arresting the Sunni leaders that have helped get us to this point -- nm - znufrii Sep 4, 17:00
I must say this is probably the only time in my life I'm actually lookin forward to, or indeed even going to, watch the O'Reilly Factor -- nm - znufrii Sep 4, 16:54
Odds are greater he will pretend Obama never acknowledged that...plays into their lie that he only mentions victory when tlaking about the election - The Calico Cat Coalition Sep 4, 16:53 3
- can both of you revisit this thread as a gentlemen's bet after the speech tonight? I'm really curious as to which one of you is right :) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 4, 16:55 2
  - I will gladly mail him a nickle if I'm wrong about hte mention -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Sep 4, 16:55 1
    - oh, I didn't mean to suggest stakes. I just meant for curiosity. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 4, 16:56
