Obama and Clinton Opposition To Iraq Surge 'Political'

'Hillary told the president that her opposition to the [2007] surge in Iraq had been political because she was facing him in the Iowa primary... The president conceded vaguely that opposition to the Iraq surge had been political. To hear the two of them making these admissions, and in front of me, was as surprising as it was dismaying.'

– ROBERT GATES, FORMER DEFENCE SECRETARY
