After purging his website of any disparaging comments against the surge, and after scrubbing comments that Iraq is in a civil war, Barack Obama gave a talk on national security and how it is necessary to surrender the war in Iraq in order to win the war in Iraq.

Obama needs to review the new Vets for Freedom ad on not quitting in Iraq.
