In an interview with ABC's Terry Moran, Obama said that he "did not anticipate, and I think that this is a fair characterization, the convergence of not only the surge but the Sunni awakening in which a whole host of Sunni tribal leaders decided that they had had enough with Al Qaeda, in the Shii’a community the militias standing down to some degrees. So what you had is a combination of political factors inside of Iraq that then came right at the same time as terrific work by our troops. Had those political factors not occurred, I think that my assessment would have been correct."

Let's break this down:
Obama said that he "did not anticipate,
[Obama does not think or plan ahead]

and I think that this is a fair characterization,
[Obama agrees that he does not think]

the convergence of not only the surge but the Sunni awakening
[Obama - the Sunni Awakeing occurred after the surge, which you still oppose, kicked-in and proved the US was indeed the 'strong horse' that was going to stay and kick ass as long as needed.]

in the Shii’a community the militias standing down to some degrees.
[again the Shii'a like the Sunni, and like the slow learning Al Qeada - ran away from the 'strong horse']

Had those political factors not occurred, I think that my assessment would have been correct."
[You're ASSessment is correct - Obama, you are the horse's ass.]

and I think that this is a fair characterization,
[Obama agrees]
