Except Obama never said Afghanistan was "unwinnable".
We are waiting for months for him to decide what to do there. He chose "no decision" over "a decision", and thats not how you win the war. He didn't have to say its unwinnable, his (no) action is saying so. He doesn't know what to do.
Surge did work in Iraq. Obama was against it, right?
Yes, Obama opposed the surge. I personally think the surge was a political move on the Bush Administration.
Things started to turn around in Iraq when Gates took over.
Imagine what the world would look like if that fuckwit Rumsfeld would have never been in the equation.
Rumsfeld "shock and aw" did work to beat Saddam's army. After that, nothing worked for him. Gates... we could argue about him, but for now, I'll give you that one.
