Can you believe this? (HT: Hugh Hewitt):
In an interview yesterday with Senator Obama, ABC’s Terry Moran listed just a few of the by now seemingly endless data points demonstrating that the so-called surge, which Obama opposed at the time it was announced, is a success. Moran then asked this (excellent) question: Knowing what you know now, would you support the surge?”Obama’s answer was, “No.”
This must surely rank as among the most misinformed, ideological, and reckless statements by a presidential candidate in modern times. The McCain campaign should do everything they can to make Obama pay a high price for it. That one word answer, “No,” should be advertised in bright neon lights. It should become Exhibit A that Obama not only doesn’t have the “judgment to lead;” he has now supplied us with evidence that few people possess judgment as flawed as his.
Knowing what Obama now knows he would have still opposed the surge, because at that time he needed a campaign issue against the Bush Administration and victory or defeat in Iraq by the United States armed forces was of no concern to him.
Incredible.
