Last night, I watched Obama on Bill O’Reilly admit that, yes, the surge is working, but refusing to say that he made a mistake in not supporting it from the beginning. Bill O’Reilly’s head could not fathom such a, dare I say, nuanced thought.
Look, a broken clock is right twice a day. Just because, on mere CHANCE and through no actual leadership/skill of Bush’s own, the surge is working doesn’t mean that everyone who didn’t support it at the start needs to be ashamed. It would be a mistake to support Bush’s hackneyed plans in the future, just as it would be a mistake to look to that broken watch in the future, just on the mere fact that it was correct for exactly two minutes. But Republicans are too busy patting themselves on the back for finally lucking into getting one thing right to understand that it doesn’t wash away the thousands of lives lost in this pointless war.
