Default New Yorker Blames Luck for Iraq Good News

It's as if we live in a parallel universe...

It's about Obama (as per the obvious title), but I want to focus on something they write a few paragraphs in...

Obama’s Iraq Problem

Quote:
At the start of 2007, no one in Baghdad would have predicted that blood-soaked neighborhoods would begin returning to life within a year. The improved conditions can be attributed, in increasing order of importance, to President Bush’s surge, the change in military strategy under General David Petraeus, the turning of Sunni tribes against Al Qaeda, the Sadr militia’s unilateral ceasefire, and the great historical luck that brought them all together at the same moment.
Get that folks?..

In INCREASING "order of importance" they first mention the surge, followed by the "change in military strategy" (SAME THING MORONS!!!)...and then give the greatest importance to LUCK...

Not US troops...Not US trained Iraqi soldiers...Not political benchmarks being completed...

They blame luck...
