Brave Sir O'Hanlon

War Proponent Critic Proponent praises withdraws praise from SURGE before Congress when under oath...as opposed to before Blitzer & Tweety:

[O'Hanlon] totally backed down. Said the progress has only been against Al Qaeda, that sectarian violence and the civil war is as bad as ever, and that the current strategy will probably fail. He thinks we should partition the country. Why the turnabout from the optimistic op-ed? He didn't say.

It's almost as if the talking points were tossed out for the most massive fanfare possible when people would be paying attention.
