Yesterday, Barack Obama admitted in an interview with Bill O'Reilly that the troop surge in Iraq has succeeded "beyond our wildest dreams." Note, he didn't say beyond "
my wildest dreams." By using the third person "our" Obama is attempting to inoculate himself from the derivative harm of his own short-sighted folly in opposing the surge and predicting its failure. Gov. Palin eviscerated Obama on his rhetorical three-card monte at a rally today in my home state of Wisconsin.
“
He (Obama) said it (the troop surge) was doomed to fail. But just last night, Sen. Obama finally broke and brought himself to admit what all of us have known for quite some time, and that’s that thanks to the skill and valor of our troops, the surge in Iraq has succeeded. I guess when you turn out to be profoundly wrong on a vital national security issue, maybe it’s comforting to pretend that everyone else was wrong, too.”
