Not true. The Anbar Uprising is the main reason. This is bullshit and you know it. You are literally making shit up. Petraeus does NOT credit it. Everyone knows that the surge enabled the Anbar Awakening -- this is not even the subject of debate that I know of. "Had we done what Obama wanted, we would have lost the war in Iraq and AQ and Iran would now be in control of Iraq." Oh God. Talk about retconning history. If we had done what Obama wanted done, we wouldn't have been there in the first place. Obama would not have gone to war -- that's true. But the war was needed and well-supported at the time (you don't get to go back and re-make decisions 7 years later). At the time Obama decided not to support the war, it was a stupid decision, and one only an extremist liberal or gross incompetent would have made. Today, after the war has dragged on for a while, support has waned, as it always does. Ultimately, George Bush won the war. And one day, instead of being bashed for it, people will come to understand why it was important. It is a fact that the United States is a safer place today due in part to the war in Iraq. For that, Bush will eventually receive credit.
