Liberal Media Turning on Obama? USA Today Op-Ed Slams his "Hard to Fathom" Refusal to Admit Surge was a Success….

The love affair over? Extremely doubtful......

......Why then can't Obama bring himself to acknowledge the surge worked better than he and other skeptics, including this page, thought it would? What does that stubbornness say about the kind of president he'd be?

In recent comments, the Democratic presidential candidate has grudgingly conceded that the troops helped lessen the violence, but he has insisted that the surge was a dubious policy because it allowed the situation in Afghanistan to deteriorate and failed to produce political breakthroughs in Iraq. Even knowing the outcome, he told CBS News Tuesday, he still wouldn't have supported the idea.

That's hard to fathom.Even if you believe that the invasion of Iraq was a grievous error  —  and it was  —  the U.S. should still make every effort to leave behind a stable situation. Obama seems stuck in the first part of that thought process, repeatedly proclaiming that he was right to oppose the war and disparaging worthwhile efforts to fix the mess it created. Hence, his dismissal of the surge as "a tactical victory imposed upon a huge strategic blunder."

Hmm, looks like parts of the media are less than pleased with their creation. Still, their Frankenstein won't be abandoned.

He is still not wearing a US Flag pin...he is going to give Ahmadinejad a run for the money for the top nutcase ruler spot.

If Oprahma wins the election Monkeyman may officially declare him the Mahdi.
