The surge coincided with the awakening of the local tribes to the fact that Al Qeda was not their friend, and Bush's surge got a lot of credit for pacification that actually should be laid at the door of the locals. But even if Bobert's assessment was mistaken, it seems to me--since you have given your man so much endless slack for so many boneheaded misunderestimations and mistakes--that Bobert deserves a bit of slack as well.

You're in Obama country, pal. That means re-unification and reaching across the grat Divide.
