From the Huffington Post’s Katie Couric To Obama: People Are “Scratching Their Heads” About Your Opposition To Surge: “In his foreign policy speech, delivered before his trip, Obama did a fine job in differentiating the tactic of the ‘Surge’ as but a thin sliver of tactic within a larger foreign policy strategy that has failed to deliver any of the outcomes that were promised. Even if we could cast the ‘Surge’ as an unqualified success, the overall strategy has netted America four major failures. And within the larger context of a failure to find WMDs, a failure to improve America’s security, a failure to thwart or even impede al Qaeda in the wake of 9/11, and a failure to prevent malign regional forces like Iran and Hezbollah from increasing their regional influence, the ‘Surge’ is entirely without relevance - a fourth quarter field goal when you’re down four touchdowns.”
