I admit when I’m wrong, the surge is working

I have to admit it, I am wrong I guess. I know, I know, it IS shocking but, it takes a real man to admit his mistakes. I read this comment from Dick Cheney, he is right…you just can’t argue with his logic

“‘I know most of you have heard the political debates that have been going on back home,’ he said. ‘You’ve heard some prominent voices advocating a sudden withdrawal of our forces from Iraq. Some have suggested this war is not winnable. And a few seem almost eager to conclude that the struggle is already over. But they are wrong. The only way to lose this fight is to quit. And that is not an option.’

“Afterward, he took questions from a group of 30 troops in a large tent. ‘From our perspective, we don’t see much as far as gains,’ Marine Cpl. Bradley Warren told Cheney. ‘I was wondering what it looks like from the big side of the mountain — how Iraq’s looking.’

Mr. Cheney’s response:

‘Well, Iraq’s looking good,’ Cheney responded. ‘It’s hard sometimes, if you look at just the news, to have the good stories burn through. Part of it is that what we’re doing here, obviously, takes time. From our perspective, looking back, as I say, to a year and a half ago, I think it’s remarkable progress. I think we’ve turned the corner, if you will. I think when we look back from 10 years hence, we’ll see that the year ’05 was in fact a watershed year here in Iraq.’ “Cheney . . . also discussed the possibility of American forces eventually withdrawing ‘to a few locations’ in Iraq, which would ‘reduce the total number of personnel we need here.’

“‘I think you will see changes in our deployment patterns probably within this next year,’ he said.”

oh shit, wait he said that in 2005! My bad…yep Dick, 2005 a great year for Iraq!
