As recently as July, the Democratic presidential candidate declined to rate the surge a success, but said it had helped reduce violence in the country. On Thursday, Obama acknowledged the 2007 increase in U.S. troops has benefited the Iraqi people.

Seriously though with holdouts here still saying the surge did not work, even the canidate now conceded that the surge worked.
