Marathon Pundit: Sam Brownback admits he was wrong, McCain was right on the surge

For a while last year, Senator Sam Brownback (R-KS) was a presidential candidate. He didn't think the Iraq troop surge would work. In a John McCain campaign teleconference this morning (this one I missed), he admitted that he was wrong, McCain was right on th Iraq troop surge.

I was skeptical about the surge at that point and time. And he said this is what we've got to do and we did it and thank goodness for John McCain because we won. I was wrong on the surge. Thankfully, John prevailed in this and because John McCain prevailed on this we are looking at a situation where we can substantially draw down troops in Iraq today instead of defeat.
