Finally, Someone in the MSM Points This Out

Christopher Hitchens in Slate re-iterates something I've mentioned several times on these (cyber) pages - that Obama has a sophisticated, nuanced view on the Surge as it pertains to the War. As I've pointed out before, the surge is a tactical victory (maybe) - and we need strategic thinking. It seems that Hitchens is the only other person (other than me) who picked up Obama's explanation ofthis in the Austin debate. This is why Obama is able to win the debate even while the Surge is showing some success.
