He didn't vote against it, I don't htink that was put to a vote. But he insisted that it wouldn't work, and he was wrong. Another Senator, Hilary Clinton, told Gen Petreus that his expectation of what the Surge could do "requires the willful suspension of disbelief". In other words, then-Senator Clinton told Petreus he wa slying.
Obama swore the surge could not work. Clinton accused Petreus of lying about the potential benefits. Both senators could not have been more wrong, and both were promoted by the citizenry.
Awsome sig, "choose life".
